    Even if he charged you for the info might work cheaper than the court case if you get wrong . Plus his will be the correct info sometime the AO's dont have all the correct info .

    Good to here maybe easier if we ask you a few questions to help. What we meant was the circumstances of the hunting? Do you plan on mostly bush hunting or hunting on the tops? What sort of...

    Would be awesome to have an NZ based importer / wholesaler / point of contact for repair, warranty, spare parts etc - be awesome if 55Six could do that?

    I think that in NZ due to the importer some dealers new prices are maybe a bit high especially when you have been shopping in the states. But they are still bloody good scopes. I've had a few mid...

    Given the way they support their product, buying a used Leupold does not carry the same risk as buying another brand used

    Part of it is also simplicity of choice. With Leupold you know what you're getting - reliable, solid, and reasonable quality at the cost of increased price. There's good brand recognition/trust, and...
