They probably would if you turned up in person. The only times I have  
bought his way is when I know exactly what I wanted, such as eye- 
pieces for scopes. Although, saying that I did buy a scope untried,  
the decision based on a fair bit of web research-saved 50% off the  
RRP in that case.

That's worth remembering, but are they only happy to supply the item or
also happy to give you a demo?  If only the former, is there any point
going through them rather than an internet supplier unless they're
cheaper or can give you a better warranty?

Peter et Al,
One thing to remember if you are looking for optical gear that is
unusual or you just can't find a retailer who is happy to go out of
their way to order in, is to try the Importer. I have bought several
items that I have not been able to find locally through the Importers.
I have found that if you ring up  their sales dept. and explain your
situation, they are only to happy to help out.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

The situation is even worse with odd items like monoculars where
most shops only carry a selection of no-name brands and comparison
is impossible.
