Not trying to start an import debate, I just thought if you were going to make those sort of comparisons you might want to be a little more realistic with your numbers.

With the greatest of respect, I don't think mr Kwon was contemplating importing a Sako out of the U.S.

I read it as a comparison of the retail price of an identical item in two 1st world Western countries.

I have no idea whether Cabellas can by direct from Sako.fi direct or if it's through Beretta USA....either way, their buying power probably gives them some discount leverage.

I don't think we have much to thank Beretta NZ for here in NZ.
