Good day fellow CGN members.

I would like to introduce myself. I have been an online optics dealer for the past 7+ years based in Calgary. I recently added a number of premium lines to the products I sell, and decided to start advertising on here.

I have dealt with a number of members here over the years, either in my personal capacity (Globalstar66) buying and selling some of my personal use items, and also through my website. I have never advertised my business at all - it's always been word of mouth or through finding my website via a search or via a Manufacturer's website.

I pride myself on customer service, and I am always VERY resposnive to emails or phone calls. Because I don't manage a busy shop, I am pretty much always available.

I used to live in South Africa, and we moved to Calgary in 2011. I was a member of the South African National shooting team before we moved to Canada. I started Shooting Warehouse in South Africa in 2009, and by the time I moved to Canada in September 2011, I was the sole importer and distributor for Walther Sporting Arms, as well as for Falcon Optics. I was also one of the most prominent dealers in South Africa for Steyr Sport and Anschutz - mainly their high-end Airrifles, used in Olympic disciplines.

I do not sell any airrifles anymore, but I do import and sell high-end airrifle accessories - see my website for details.

I am currently a full-line dealer for the following brands:

Swarovski Optik
Kahles
Leica
Meopta
Falcon Optics
Ernst Apel (EAW) Rifle Scope Mounts (Germany)
Recknagel (ERA-TAC) Rifle Scope Mounts (Germany)
Triggertech Triggers
Tangent Theta Rifle Scopes and Tenebraex Scope covers

We carry stock of certain items, but with some brands, the amount of available products are just way too large to carry stock, so I special order them.

Products from Gernany and Switzerland normally arrive here 7-14 days after placing the order.

Products from Swarovski, Kahles, Leica, Zeiss, Tangent Theta normally get to me within 48 hours of placing an order, and I ship items out within 2 hours of receiving my shipment.

I can order basically any item that any of the manufacturers I deal with, sells. Most items are normally in stock, save for relatively new items that have long backorder times.

I also have a shipment of the newly released Leica 2800.com rangefinders arriving on Tuesday morning (5 Feb) as well as other Leica products.

I will be posting deals as they come along from time to time. Alternatively, just shoot me an email or call me to discuss any needs you may have. I sell everything at the lowest price I am allowed to sell at - normally MAP prices, so never at full retail.

And if you are a CGN member, ANYTHING over $1000 ordered from me, will ship for free anywhere in Canada. You would only be paying for insurance if you wanted the shipment fully insured. Email or call me to discuss.

My website has some of the items I sell listed, otherwise contact me and place your order.

Thanking you all in anticipation.

Kind regards

Robbie Stewart

Welcome aboard - always nice to see new businesses opening up in Calgary - this economy needs it!

I know many South Africans in Calgary... seems to be a popular place to immigrate!
 
first time i have heard of falcon optics...just checked out the website, I think i'll pick up one of those 4-18x44 to try out.

When will you have them back in stock? But if you can get any of the 1-8x24 scopes ...i would definitly be into one of those :)

Send me an email with your details and what you'd like, and I'll get you squared away with prices and ETA. I will be placing an order with Falcon pretty soon, and it takes only a few days to get to me, as it's shipped from the UK with Fedex priority.

Thanks for checking it out.

Cheers

Hallo Robbie, long shot, called you a few years back, don't suppose a gen 1 falcon 1-8 with the enclosed turrets somehow managed to end up in your inventory by chance?

Howdy. Please send me an email with your details and exactly which one you want, and I will get it sorted for you. Will be placing an order for some Falcon scopes very soon - so i can still add whatever you'd want.

Spoke to Falcon this morning. They will let me know by Tuesday which models are in stock and timelines on availability on the ones not yet in stock. I will let you know more or less when I will have stock again.

I've owned a couple of Falcons back in the day - for the price they were a very good optic choice. They were used pretty frequently by the rimfire crowd back in the early to mid 2000's.

Agreed. And they have become better and better every year. Turrets and "clicks" have really imporoved, overall build quality is way up too, and reticles have also great now.

For the money, they are really great optics. What makes them especially nice, is the 10 yard (9 meters) parallax adjustment, so absolutely perfect for airguns and rimfire too.
 
welcome to the community


Thanks - appreciate it. If there's anything we can ever help anyone with, let us know.

Also, sometimes when I don't carry a product or if I'm out of stock, I call around to find it for my customers and I would easily refer my customer to a store that has what he/she is looking for.

Just this morning I referred a potential customer looking for a specific scope, to another dealer with whom I have NO affiliation. I do what I can to help, and as fast as I can.

Cheers
