    It's coming up 7 in stock and I can order for delivery to my registered address here in Kerry.

    Usually if an order can't be delivered to Ireland for any reason it clearly states that.

    A couple months ago I contacted opticwarehouse based in the UK in regards to ordering a normal scope and getting it shipped over. I was unsure if I needed an import license or end user agreement.
    I've imported about half a dozen scopes from the UK and all that was ever needed was an end user. The guy, from Sightron, told me its because they were over 4 power as anything under that doesn't need and End User.

    Has that been changed/removed since Brexit, or did they tell you?
    The company replied stating they had no problem shipping over a normal scope, however they would not ship a NV or Thermal optic without the correct licence.
    Good info, thanks.

    Oh for god sake I just ordered the pard. Bloody hell, try and cancel it now. Can you explain to my wife if I can’t why I was even looking at night vision scopes, never mind buying one. 😂

    I didn’t need one, I was just ordering a normal scope so had it shipped over no problem. They just stated they don’t ship over NV or Thermal.Must have just been a reply they send to anyone asking a similar question

    This was a couple months before Brexit so not sure if things changed. It was a 6-24x44 Hawke scope, ordered, shipped and delivered without any hassle.

    If you read the text that is in red in your post that in no way says they do not ship outside the UK.

    What's happening is when I hit the link I already have a business account registered with them so they immediately warn me if the item I am looking at will not be shipped to Ireland and that Pard 008 can be at my door on 12-13th May not a bother.

    If you open an account and put in your address it will show you delivery dates.

    Well you must have some strange account with them, because when I put it in with delivery to the ROI it comes up at the prepayment details We cannot ship this to your adderss,etc,etc...

    Just order the previous model from Amazon.de,without all the hassle about having a reticle function inbuilt into it at 300 euros cheaper,and buy a few shims and a clamp mount and carry on without red flagging yourself?:P

    No worries...Soon have you sorted!

    Dear Mrs 308
    Mr 308 was a bit silly trying to prove a point and ordered an 850 euro night sight by mistake while trying to surprise you. He got the pages mixed up while looking to purchase you, the love of his life something you always wanted.

    Fortunately, Amazon have a return and refund policy for any such whoopsies. All Mr 308 has to do is fill in the paperwork and pop it back in the post and on receipt of the goods you get a full refund.:) he can then concentrate properly on buying you that lovely item you have alawys dreamed of.

    No need to batter him with the rolling pin or any other blunt objects,or put him in the dog house or upset your domestic bliss in the 308 household as we all make mistakes and he probably has learned in the future,to use a credit card with little or no balance on it to make sure should such happen the sale is rejected anyway due to low funds and to use the proper card for you and only you.
    He is a good man, just gets carried away betimes and gets flustered trying to multitask,something best left to you ladies.[Apologies if I assumed your gender there]
    Sincerely his pal Grizzly and others on Boards.ie shooting.


    There ya go.Show her that and you are home and dry. We'll all back you up here and are right behind you.

    Thanks for that bud, I cancelled and thankfully all sorted. Rolling pin would be the least of my worries. She’s well able to work a trigger to great effect.

    Nope! Because that particular model on amazon.de is an add-on unit with no inbuilt aiming reticles either physically or in its programming. You could just as easily use it on a spotting scope for long-range night photography or as a handheld unit.

    That's why it's freely available in Germany for sale. If it had an aiming reticle or was a dedicated weapons mountable system you couldn't buy it, unless you were a registered hunter in certain states for nighttime boar hunting, which are now at plague proportions.
    So yeah,you can buy that one and import it here no trouble and license-free.What you do with it then is up to you and the law if caught.:)

    LATER Unit in question for those who might fancy one.

    You're a bit late to the party bro, sorry can't help you.

    I am surprised you even acknowledged my reply but I did not expect much of a response anyway as you seem to have tunnel vision with your witch hunt.
    Enjoy
