DL. Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 The site's so damn vague. "Currently there are certain countries that we cannot ship to via USPS because of insurance reasons. However, we can ship UPS Worldwide Express or UPS Worldwide Expedited, which are much faster services." http://www.opticsplanet.net/upic.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 From what I understand, anything resembling a mil-type scope won't be exported for fear of attracting the unwanted attention of BATF or other Fed authorities Chris-NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streeker59 Posted November 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Thanks Dave... I have a mate in Florida at the mo and he want's a target scope himself. Every dealer he goes into have nothing but hunting scopes and look at him like he has two heads when he asks for something with target turrets.. Just shows that the grass aint always greener....

Streeker59 Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 I was looking at ebay last night and the very scope i'm after has turned up via an american seller. £266 inc postage aint bad at all. Ok at that price it's not leup or schmidt quality but there's no way i can justify £1000 + for a scope nowadays... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400169682112&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermincinerator Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Good price Grant, both my Leupold and my Sightron came from US ebay sellers, the Leupold 3 years ago and the sightron 2 years ago when the exchange was in our favour, i saved a heap of money against buying here.
