I'm currently in the states and thinking about bringing a nightforce scope back with me when I return as it will save me around $800. Anyone done this before with a similar scope? It will be in checked baggage. Any issues on either end of customs?

We can now get them in NZ
At very good prices, no more getting fisted.

FYI your bag will be opened by TSA. If you lock your bag, your lock will be broken/cut/opened and a nice pamphlet left inside. And that's the start of your . . . challenges. And no, your travel insurance wouldn't cover any travel delays if you ended up missing your flight.Quote:

Who is this guy? Ie is there store, or any history? Or even better has someone brought one off him?Quote:

Agree with Beaker. Anyone had dealings with the guy? I think the photo on the auction is of an ATACR, not the NXS which is advertised. Bit misleading. I know a few people have been duped with fake Leupold's online so i'm a bit wary of buying from untrusted sellers. But if they are legit then that is a better price than here in the USA which is great to see.Quote:

Or how about from aussie? I got one in last week and saved $1000 on DED price and that's after paying gst.
That news must have broke your heart :PQuote:

which site?Quote:

After doing a bit of looking around online it appears Aussie prices are even cheaper than the states which is surprising. Might go the Aussie route rather than risk it with US Customs. Don't wanna end up sharing a cell with Bubba.
+1 for Magnum sports. I brought an NXS off them and had a mate bring it over. They are good to deal withQuote:
