Their pricing is really sharp. Just stumbled across them after @MSL got me looking at the S&B ultra short.

Looked there when buying my binos but ended up buying local for peace of mind.

Yes...plus tax on import. Peace of mind is a worth paying a little extra for.

Is it just me or do the prices seem steep compared to NZ prices? Looking at Leupold and Bushnell scopes at best I am only saving $50-$100 after tax and shipping?

Not sure...but given they are euro probably best to compare euro made scopes?

Their international freight is pricy though. If I am reading it correctly it is 50 to 70 Euros to "The rest of the world". Add 50 Euros to those prices and it is only the really expensive scopes that are economical and those will attract GST as well ....

Their prices do look good though so if their shiping was able to be reduced it could work out well.

I currently have an order in with them, only because I could not find anyone that would export from the states.

When I bought it was on the item a 2 to 4 week before it would be instock and shipped.

4 weeks is up tomorrow, so will have to wait and see.

I did get one automated email at 21 days saying apologies for the delay and that your item should ship within 3 weeks.

Being cheeky I emailed asking them to upgrade to faster shipping.

I'll post here when it's shipped and arrived.


PS Bank actually got in touch, thought it might have been a dodgy transaction and they did block my card.

Interestingly their address appears to be a house: https://www.google.co.nz/maps/place/...4!4d15.5879641

They do have a good reputation on the net.

Their website would be one of the best I have come across. Wealth of info, incl video clip of product. Definitely credible.

Especially given your last experience.
While we might pay a few extra $
the ability to drive to town and get a instant replacement is worth more to me.

Yes.

The SSL Labs Server Test for the site is an A which is equivalent to our banks. Most of our local gun shop sites rate at F.

they got cheaper everywhere but here when they stopped making that line in germany to cut costs

I bought a sightron STAC from them about 6 months ago and it was a good transaction. They kept me informed, took a bit longer than expected but they delivered.
