If you have served (or otherwise qualify from the list) it's probably the best deal around.

They do (Buds) but Sportsmans Outdoor Super Store (SOSS) offers a buying program that is much larger than just MIL/LE. It includes many local, city, state employees, and some private from TSA, armed airline pilots, EMTs, firefighters, licensed security companies, corrections, etc...
If it applies to you, I'd highly recommend them as SOSS's price is the price vs. differentiating between cash or credit; Personally I have a problem with that. And the price is just as good or better than Buds with the ability to email or call if there's an issue.
I have no personal affiliation with SOSS nor am I a disgruntled Buds customer. I've bought a few from Buds, but recently found and used SOSS with much less headache and great CS.
Just my 2 cents.
