    My view is probably a bit cynical but I still don't get how firearms are priced so expensive here in nz. Well I kinda do but I still think its excessive. T1x doesn't seem as bad as others. The more expensive the retail here the more overpriced I think firearms are compared to the US.
    MSRP on the T1x is $499, (wholesale and retail profit is already in the MSRP) convert that to nzd thats give or take $700.
    + some shipping....
    + some Import export paperwork.
    + the fluctuating exchange rate so more profit safety margin built in there.
    + GST
    That still doesn't get near the 1100nzd retail.
    Small market/buying power in nz aswell. I think thats probably the biggest factor.

    But at the end of the day I would much rather pay that extra and live here than alot of other places in the world. So much we take for granted everyday.
    But hunting and shooting we have it reasonably good.
    Deer season is 365 days of the year in most parts on permitted doc land. No fee, No tags. Excluding balloted areas obviously.

    I would love to get one but ill stick to my JW-15 until I have more disposable income, or they release a stainless one thats priced reasonable.
