FWIW I picked up a hard case from Super Cheap that takes a couple of ARs easily on special for $170 down from the usual $200 - it's a cheap version of a Pelican I guess but the special is on for Bathurst weekend and the case is good for the price

Not after really a hard case. They are a PITA to fit in back of the Hilux when there's a "few" others on the seat.

Anyone brought a scope in from usa ? I have a relative coming back in december and can bring a vortex in from brownells.From reading some of these threads this may be a problem? He will have the receipt and invoice for this so he may have to declare at the border. Thanks in advance
Hey RES thanks for that - seems some US ITAC regulations are in play here with "MILSPEC" Vortex Spitfire 3x etched glass. Brownells wont supply this scope outside the USA. I can buy same here for an extra NZD$50 so wont bother with the potential drama here.
@Simo,
US350 x 1.5 FX x 1.15 GST = $603 + postage.
Reloaders have them for 599 in stock at the moment... hence cheaper to buy in NZ.
Vortex Spitfire 3x Prism (SPR-1303) - Red Dot Sights - Optics - Reloaders Supplies Ltd
Organised one today after the sums were done!! Ta for the info though
Checked this out yesterday at Reloaders, compared the Aimpoint and the Vortex. The Aimpoint I looked at had no reticule but red dot and was a sharp image and $700+. The Vortex was good BUT... the reticule wasn't aligned at 90 degrees to the milspec. The bottom of the reticule had a decided lean to the right at the bottom. They are getting some more in and I hope they are not all like this. I saw this issue with the AR332 on some of the You Tube videos. So have to wait unfortunately.
Another option is the lucid 4x
I had I look at one yesterday and was impressed, you should be able to land one for a bit over $600 or @Digit has them for $700

My mate @ANTMAN just bought the Lucid 4x from Digit. looked through it at the Sika show, was pretty good!
Under rated brand...
What are ppls thoughts on keymod v m-lock? I want a front hand guard that I can add a bipod to for each of the upper I am building so trying to decide which to go for. I want as light as I can get yet still be rigid with good cooling and decent quality. Kind of think that it doesnt matter which?

6 of one and half a dozen of the other as far as I can see-but one you go one way or the other you are kind of committed to that system.
But for mounting a Harris bipod I have just tapped a hole and put a sling point on my ar's as its lighter and cheeper than any of the rail adaptors
