Somebody posted a while back about being able to negotiate a lower price on the EXPS from OpticsPlanet. Anyone know who that was or how low they'll go? Looking to buy a new one.
|
|
|
Just live chat with them and push for the lowest price (politely obviously - be friendly!).

FWIW, the scout clears the lasers on my rifle with the Gear Sector mount, so it doesn't affect functionality. You still can't get the PEQ next to the Scout on the rail, though. |

I would imagine it's because there wasn't a civilian model ATPIAL until fairly recently, so there was never really any sizeable market for offset light mounts that worked in conjunction with one. I did just order one of the S&S IFV mount/bodies, so we'll see if it works any better. |

I ordered an EXPS 3 through OP about a week ago and got them down to $565. I asked for $550 but they wouldn't go for that. They also gave me a $40 gift certificate, so now I have to find something else I need.

To Evil_Ed, AZ_SBR, sbye, and AggiePhil. This might be a dumb question but have y'all tried the EE? I got a brand new EXPS back at the end of December for $500 in the new optics thread. I know December was a lot closer in time to the Eotech lawsuit than now so maybe that's why I had an easier time finding one at a decent price. Just a suggestion if you haven't checked already.
Getting my CQBR set up for some night shooting Tuesday and hopefully well see some coyotes while we are out. Got a SOCOM barrel and will either make it a M4A1 SOPMOD Block I or II or a MK18 Mod 0. What do you guys think I should do with it? IMG_1031 by Alashooter1526, on Flickr |

I'd be fine with a used one. I'm actually looking for an EXPS 3-0 in black. All the ones I've seen on the EE have been priced too close to a new one.
