    Rediculous.....I'd like to see the justification for the price....but the price may be dictated to the retailer by the importer.

    I remember seeing a price of $4199 on the fully wooded Bavarian carbine, a retail price increase of $1100 for another
    twelve inches of wood....bullshit IMO.

    I agree the price is rediculous but it doesn't seem out of line with prices in the US. Euro Optics have it listed at $2900 (yeah, I know, you never end up paying the ist price from them) but using it as rough guide that translates to about $3800nzd. Plus add approx $500 for freight and permits and it takes you to $4300. If you're lucky you might sneak through without GST but if you're unlucky then you could up paying as much as $4800-$5k

    That might be the case but Beretta NZ is not paying for export permits ex US so you shouldn't have to factor that in, or freight for that matter.

    $2900 USD = $3900NZD+GST = $4485. Guess the other $700 just comes from the fact that we are in a small market thats easy to shaft.

    Do reloaders bring them in themselves or do they go via Beretta NZ?
