    I'm looking at a leupold vx - 3 long range 30mm 6.5 x 20 x 50 new. the price is €930 is this a decent price or am I being done ? also anyone any experience with one of these. I'll be using it for hunting and targets, basicly an all round scope.

    thats right, but consider the leupold mk 4 tactical which has 100 moa of elevation, better target scope in the event you wish to shoot out to 1000 yards.;)

    This is about €745 and will ship in about 3 days. add £5 for post.
    Look for a US one but the exchange rate is low right now from the UK as well.
    I bought from Opticswarehouse.co.uk only 3 weeks ago and found them to be good. BUT E-mail to check for stock first.

    IF you can find a vendor willing to to do this (and many won't), you run the risk of only being able to claim the stated value from the carriers if the package gets damaged/lost in transit.
    Just something to ponder when placing orders for high end/expensive items.
