I placed an order on 10/25 my credit card was charged and I haven't seen or heard anything yet, the optic I chose must not have been in stock and I will have to wait until in comes from Russia.


That's a lousy way to run a business, your card should not be charged until the item is in stock and ready to be shipped.


I guess we can say they are the JOEKEN's of optics!

Thanks hapjack, that's reason enough for me not to order the Kobra from them on Monday.

Based on what I have heard/read, I would not order from Kalinka. Stories abound from shipping factory seconds to not shipping at all.

FreedomOptics.com for me, FWIW. I have yet to hear a negative word about kalibur(Yuri, IIRC).

10-4, I will try to order from Freedom on Monday, but I need their number. For some reason paypal won't let me use my Bank of America account to transfer funds into paypal, only out.

I ordered 1 from them and it took quite awhile to get. When it arrived there was a blemish in the lense. They  had me send it to a place in the USA and the return scope came in about a week and a half later no problem.

Nevermind guys, I just order a PSOP 8x42PRO from Sniper Country for my new VEPR .308 I just decided to buy. Merry Christmas to me!

Too late to cancel the order? FreedomOptics has them for 149

www.freedomoptics.com/comersus/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=93

Heck I have a used one in perfect condition that I would sell you for a hundred bucks.
(AK Mount scope in that other rail thread you posted)

TX-Zen that's a version "V", I ordered a version "PRO". 762boddy dropper may be interested in yours.

Your setup is one of my future projects.  I love the VEPRs and really want the one in .308

When you get the scope, take some pics and give us a range reporty, try to use some match .308, I'd be interested in what kind of groups these weapons can give.

Will do Mark. I haven't bought the 308 yet. I am waiting on some money from a gun sell. I sold it to a long-time friend. You know, the kind that takes a long time to pay up.

I've ordered from NightvisionWeb and never had any problem with orders.  Prices are not bad.
