Scope???

newby.204

Right, as most of you know ive got a deposit on a rifle
(Brno 452 varmint .17 Hmr),

Now to my question

I want to get a Schmidt&Bender scope, its top class, 4–16 x 50 Varmint

http://www.schmidtbender.com/varmintscopes.shtml

I want to get it a cheap as possible, yes i realise its a schmidt&bender cheap doesnt come into it, but i dont want to get ripped off for it, as i would do in this country!!!


So anyone know where i might order it from England/USA???

Or alternatively somewhere in leinster that wont take the p!ss with the price

These are german sites,with English translation service.
www.egun.de
is a good bet somtimes for cheap equipment,if you can manage the Ebay style bidding.
www.frankonia.de is another good bet or www.schmidtbender.de that makes the things in the first place.
Getting it from the US,is fine if you can get them to play the lower than declared value game.But it is getting more difficult,not to mind some dealers are becoming post 9/11 paranoid about shipping outside CONUS.

Does €1200 sound alright for a Schmidt and Bender 3 - 12x50

No its bog standard, fine-duplex reticle!!!!!!


Veg i figure its an investment, comes with 30 year garauntee, if i get another rifle in a higher caliber, which i intend to when my accuracy is up in bout 2/3 years, i can always slap another scope on top of the Brno you know!!!

Family reckon "a fool and his money are easily parted" but they just dont get it, i have just bought the porche of scopes!!!!!!

What exactly is a nightforce?????

If it was anymore expensive than €1200 it can stay on the shelf, its takin me ages to get this much dosh together, my orig budget was like €500

dearer than 1200 alright, wasn't one bit sorry when i bought it tho! its more of a target scope really but works grand for anythin i do mostly foxin, cant go wrong wit da s&b tho only thing put me off was crosshair gettin bigger with zoom which s&b have now changed on the new one
