Yes, they match prices from authorized dealers. The item must be the exact same model, in stock at both retailers, and new in the box. They calculate the comparison using the competitor's final “as shipped” price, meaning they factor in the competitor's shipping fees before matching.

Yes. Active duty personnel, veterans, retirees, reservists, law enforcement officers, and first responders all qualify for a 5% discount on eligible purchases. You just verify your status through ID.me during the checkout process.

OP Bucks function as store credit. You automatically earn 2% back in Bucks on almost every purchase, including items bought during major promotional events. During some major sales, they bump this earning rate even higher to give you more credit toward your next gear upgrade.

Your order ships free if the total hits $49 or more. This applies to the vast majority of items, including discounted and clearance stock. Heavy or oversized equipment, like gun safes, usually requires a separate freight charge.

Manufacturers sometimes restrict retailers from displaying deep markdowns on public product pages. When you see this message, simply add the item to your cart. The actual discounted price will reveal itself at checkout, and you can easily remove the item if you change your mind.

In most cases, yes. They allow returns within 30 days of receipt, even for discounted inventory. They also provide a free pre-paid return label. Just make sure the gear remains in brand-new, unused condition with all original packaging.

When you create an account and save specific models to your Wishlist, the system tracks those items. If the price drops or a special promotion activates for that exact piece of equipment, you receive an automatic notification so you can secure the lower price immediately.

Yes. You can retroactively link a guest purchase to your registered account to claim the rewards. You must do this before the OP Bucks from that specific transaction would have naturally expired.

Certain high-end tactical and optics manufacturers enforce strict minimum advertised pricing (MAP) policies. This legally prevents authorized dealers from discounting those specific brands during blanket promotional events or holiday sales.

No. OpticsPlanet strictly limits its price matching program to competing authorized dealers. They reject requests matching third-party marketplaces, auction sites, or unauthorized resellers because they cannot verify product authenticity or condition from those sources.
