Thread: Scope Import (best buys, suppliers etc)

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been asked before.

Looking to pick up a Leupold VX6 2x12 but dont know who will send to NZ.
Tried Cabela's but no deal, restricted item or some shit.....

Any pointers appreciated

Nah will do now though cheers

Is CDS a good system if I want to start trying longer shots? Is the dialling sweet? ( can tell ive never done it ha ha !!)
Will it handle bush bashing?

Sick to death of my Burris 3x9 but its a tough little bitch.

Opticszone. Cant go past them.

Cheers will take a look there too.

Opticszone I used and no problems at all sent straight away

Also check the rifle scope store

Cds is great on a hunting rifle.

I've bought some stuff from OpticsPlanet and been very happy with the prices of the items and their service , but all of these companies really like to stick the knife in when it comes to their postage rates ( for example $39.95 US to post a set of scope rings to Australia ).
Even when I took into account the highway robbery postage costs I was still about $60 AU dollars better off buying from OpticsPlanet . I just wish they didn't gouge overseas customers as badly as they do , if they charged the real cost of postage it would make a " good " service " great ".


Ken

Use that youpost or what ever the nzpost thing is called. Most times you can talk the Americans into free shipping within the states A scope from the states cost me 18 for postage to NZ

Gibo, just be aware that CDS is elevation turret only, the windage turret is the "standard" turret for the scope.

The Optic Zone (9% discount currently)
Optics Planet
Natchezz SS
SWFA

all of these have had good feedback from guys on here

Just a word of warning: Optics Planet were a nightmare when I tried to bring in a scope from them direct to NZ. It went through the checkout ok then the real "checks" started coming!

been using optic zone for years always been good to deal with and do good additional discounts at times, so keep a eye on the special offers if you are not in a hurry,gear is usually in OZ in about 14 days

I dont have personal experience as always too farkin broke , but two mates have have multiple dealings with the riflescopestore and have had nothing but excellent service from day one. Prices are pretty sharp as well.

I have brought in two leupolds a vx6 and a mark4 from optics zone no problems with either and both arrived within two weeks
