File a claim with your CC for fraud?

I received a reply this morning. I hope this happens, not sure why no one could have provided this information months ago.

Hi Steve,

We are very sorry for the delay and inconvenience!
We had a production delay from the factory that supplies us with the shooting sticks.
Yesterday we have shipped a new shipment of Shooting Sticks to the USA and will arrive in next week.
We should be able to ship your order to you by the end of next week.

Once again, we apologise for the delay.

Regards

Rudolph Baard

I got the same email this morning. I am not going to hold my breath because I got a similar response via Facebook two months ago.

I'm not skeptical at all. I'm sure the new tenants at the rent house or the staff at the pest control company will get our sticks out pronto!

File a dispute with your CC company. That is the only way to deal with these dirt bags.

Geez I really hate to hear stuff like this.

They have posted on Facebook they have these back in stock and are advertising them for sale again.

FYI I posted this last year that might be worth reporting through.

How to HUNT DOWN SCAMMERS

I wrote this couple months back but scammers are never taken to task by anyone. So far I have been lucky but probably more paranoid than most which is pretty good self protection. But I would file a report to every agency I could and would harass them to chase down dirtbags. Personally I...

So this deserves a update. Rudolph Optics seem to have corrected their problems. There is a new US rep, I spoke to him on the phone. He gave me some incite on the past problems. He seems totally legit, he knew exactly who I was, told me my shooting sticks were on the way and they showed up when he said they would.

I also received mine also. After the hunt they were ordered for, but I got them. I must have spoken to the same guy as you. He seemed upfront and honest so hopefully they got their problems fixed.

Well I finally took these out of the box to play with and they broke within the first two minutes. One of the retention buttons that snaps into place for height adjustment fell down into the leg tube so i can't lock one of the legs stable.

I had ordered a scope cover from Rudolph Optics on 7/11/ 2023. I to had not received my order & after seeing this thread here, I'd started emailing them with no response. I figured they had closed up & was I going to contact my credit card but hadn't yet. Low & behold fedex brought my scope cover today. 9/16/ 2023. Maybe Rudolph's got things worked out. If you have ordered from them go to their website & go to your account & see if there is a update.

I have practiced with the Rudolph PH shooting sticks a bunch since I got them. Never had this style before and I really like them, more stable than anything else I have tried that is practical to actually carry on a stalk. I really don't know what accuracy expectations should be shooting from sticks but I can tell you what my results have been. 5 four shot groups today at 100 yards averaged 2.5 inches. That's from a rifle that consistently shoots .75 inch groups from the bench.

The only issue I have with them is they don't get small enough for me to travel with. The sticks are 42 inches fully retracted. I travel with a take down rifle, 36 inch case.
