    In the market for a new scope, wondering where lads get theirs online, uttings won't ship and opticswarehouse will only ship 9x or under!!

    It's going to top a .22-250, looking to get a bushnell but that's not set in stone!

    If you want to buy from the UK you need a Parcel Motel and a Belfast address.

    Surely worth a drive up the road to get what you want?

    It's only "laziness" on behalf of the dealers there. I've bought four scopes from the UK in the past two years. All were shipped directly to me, but all needed an end user agreement. It only took two weeks and the scope was sent straight to me.

    One dealer i bought from i marked a few of his scopes on the end user agreement in case i decided to buy another later on. This way the export was sorted and there is no commitment to buy.

    I bought 2 scopes and a pair of binoculars from optics-trade.eu in the past couple of years, and found them great to deal with.

    Have used optics trade twice myself and both times service was great. Especially good for scopes which are a little harder to come by

    Sterling is sh1te at the minute,buy in the states,have shipped to a friend /aunty over their,have them repackage it,ship it here /suitecase it,ooh and don't forget to declare this for vat purposes ,as it will be re packaged and won't have a value on the parcel:rolleyes::P.

    I brought home some Swari Z3s a few years back,they ran me E650.00 apiece at the time ,same price as a mid quality scope here at the time,granted the fx rate was better at the time.

    www.walmart.com have about 10 pages of Bushnell scopes,have a look c for the craic:D.
