Advanced Optics New Zealand

Advanced Optics is a trading name of Archetype Precision Systems Limited, a family owned and run business. In 2011, we were appointed New Zealand and the South Pacific exclusive distributor for Yukon Advanced Optics Worldwide, manufacturers of the globally popular Pulsar brand.

We are the best supplier of electro-optics because:

  • Our product range is selected by evaluation that considers fitness for purpose, performance, features and value for money. This approach provides us with the confidence to invest in stock that will benefit our customers. 
  • All goods are tested by ourselves upon arrival from the manufacturer to ensure that they are still in the same condition as when they left the factory and our after-sales service is second to none.

We serve the recreational user market through our network of dedicated stockists. Click the recreational buy button for location.

We have sponsored the Coastguard New Zealand since the 2012 National Conference, which impressed us greatly, hearing stories of the hard work and risks undertaken by the Coastguard volunteers, who perform heroic acts selflessly and with a sense of duty.

Professional, volunteer and government users

Our professional, government and volunteer clients benefit from a high level of consultation and the availability of demonstration sets for real-world evaluation.

Choosing the correct product is critical for its success. Optics with different characteristics can be compered side by side. Our advise is based upon experience.

After sales service is a priority. We offer ongoing support and provide loan models to cover for goods that are being repaired or serviced.

Professional, volunter and governement users

We offer equipment subsidises to several volunteer charities and trusts. If your organisation would benefit from our optics, please contact us here: https://www.advancedoptics.nz/buy/professional-users/

We are also keen to hear from wildlife trusts, search and rescue organisations, and other community organisations. If you are a volunteer educator of young and novice persons interested in hunting, pest control and conservation, we would like to hear from you. We are open to suggestions and ideas.
