I am the owner of Kalinka Optics and I would like to clear
up some of the untruths that Traverse has left here. It is
unfortunate that Traverse continues to slander us not only
here but in many other places. He and his wife did a great
amount of business in Russian optics before Kalinka brought
the best prices to the web and seriously undercut his
business. He has never done business with us. His lies,
like his English, stinks.
First, we are an American business, registered and
operating in Washington, DC. We have our headquarters in DC
and ALL (without fail) returns,replacements and repairs go
to our DC headquarters. We have NEVER asked anyone to send
anything overseas. We have a 14-day, no-questions-asked
return policy that allows you to buy and try anything you'd
like with only the risk of the shipping charges. This is
something you can verify yourself.
We own a warehouse in Saint Petersburg and one in
Washington, DC. The Washington warehouse is still being
outfitted and we hope to be operational there soon. It is a
fact that we have had thousands of happy customers in the
short time we have been open. It is also a fact that we
have let down several of our customers with long shipping
times. We never expected to have such success so early and
we were not prepared for it. We are still cathcing up but
every day we improve. Your support allows uys to have the
lowest prices on the web, great customer service and an
unequalled product line. Satisfied customers leave with a
quiet smile of their face, the unhappy ones...
This summer we will be adding all 9 Kobra Red Dot versions,
8 new POSP versions including: POSP 6x42 V POSP 6x42 POSP
6x42 VD PO 3-9x42 POSP 4x24 V POSP 6x24 V POSP 6x24 POSP
8x42 V POSP 8x42 VD POSP 8x42 POSP 8x42 D PO 4x24 M
New Yukon products and much, much more. All at prices that
can't be beaten. We look forward to earning your business.

catalog.
