Title: Can you order Red Dot sights online?
Post by: BLKDRGN on May 27, 2014, 10:10:04 PM: The Vortex Sparc II is finally in stock on some websites. I tried going through the checkout process on Amazon and Brownells and they both won't ship to Hawaii. Brownells sight says it's a hazard item. Anyone ordered red dot sights online?

Post by: s197 on May 28, 2014, 12:58:23 PM: Bought my Lucid HD off Amazon. Shock proof, water proof, lifetime warranty. It is heavy for a non-magnified optic, which is the only downside IMO.

Post by: BLKDRGN on May 28, 2014, 01:01:03 PM: I checked Amazon yesterday and it was from a 3rd party. Today it's from Vortex Optics but they are charging $12.54 shipping. At least it goes through now.
