nz online sites to buy firearms,scopes ect

Hi
after thinking i had a scope sorted, turns out i dont, after some advice off this forum i had a look at a web site called NZ's Premier Gun Shop, Auckland Guns | Reloaders which was great as i can read info/price on products and can do it in my own time after work.

which got me thinking what other website's do people use to buy there gear from? maybe we could start a list? nz sites and maybe overseas ones that people have used with no problems?

as im new to sport and a student and want to make my amount of money go further, the on-line sites in general have some good deals
so for newcomers a list of good sites that people use would be good

just an idea and im not trying to turn this into a "buying online v's support your local shop" just nice to know what's available

Usa

ok so what sites do people use from overseas?

sinclair, brownells and opticzone bout covers it:thumbsup:

Natchez have some fuken wicked deals.on weavers at the mo

They do but their shipping is expensive (like WTF expensive) and they take days to even process your order. Other than that, they are ok.

For me, these . . . .

Arcadian Sales. . . sharp prices

Scopes, Riflescopes, Optics, Trijicon, Acog, Zeiss, Burris - 4Scopes. . bought 4 scopes from here, x3 Zeiss x1 Sightron, very good service, Sightron was here in 5 days ! !

Camelbak, Optics items in Altatac store on eBay!. . .

Have fun, happy spending :D

Do tell!!

Brownells wouldn't sell me some Nikon scope rings. Think Nikon might have gone full retard with the "no international sales" thing. Someone tell me I'm wrong?

They did that with some Leupold rings with me, told me it was due to an agreement with Leupold's international distributors.

Last time I talked to Jon at optics zone he said he still ships Leupy gear

Optic zone sold me a mark 4 last month. It only took a few days to get to nz, but customs took another 2 weeks to sort their crap out. $978us compared to $2200 nz.
And it was Jon.:thumbsup:

Hey yogi.. I had the same thing happen through OpticZone .. 4 days from the time I clicked till the time it arrived in NZ... then another two weeks for customs to be dealt with.
Ended up saving about myself $65 on the deal in the end but it was worth it just to see what it was about. I hadn't been caught up with customs before.

Opticsplanet wouldn't sell a Leupold rangefinder to me 2 weeks ago, was the cheapest place at the time and I could choose heaps of shipping options. I had bought it and then they sent an email saying as a Leupold Authorised Dealer they can't ship internationally so could swap or cancel transaction.
Both Opticzone and the Rifle Scope store were happy to do it. Opticzone was the cheapest so got my money. 10 days delivery.
Bought a spotting scope from Rifle Scope store 2 months ago, same delivery time no hassle. Both are good.
NZ stores, after pricing it up in US bought a 6-18 VX2 from Reloaders instead as worked out at the same price as importing it so depends what you are getting which way to go.

I just made the serious mistake of looking at " the rifle scope store"

The Leupold vx6 in 3-18 power :)

The leupold comp model in 45 power with 45 mm obj :)
