Nikon Monarch Rifle Scope 4 - 16x42 - THE BASEMENT - Better deals Online | Hunting, Snow Sports, Paintball, Airsoft and more! Thats the one I was looking at

Crikey, they are bloody expensive on there!

OK guys, first off HUGE thanks for all the advice & suggestions, that's one of the main reasons I joined this forum, and the piss taking (of course) ...
After much deliberation, (yeah right) I am now the owner of a Leupold VX 2 3-9 X 40 matte wide duplex from Reloaders in jafaland for $499...
The BSA is going on the .22 and that scope on the air rifle (remember those?)............bit of the old 'Ford V Falcon' ....OH SHIT WHAT HAVE I SAID.......

With that I thank you for saving some coin, now where would I get it cheaper?

How much to get it in Nz from them here and what do I have to do to get it here?

Order on line with a c/c, work out exchange rate and shipping and probably some customs, will still be about $400 cheaper

A bit late now but another vote for the bushys, have 3, a trophy, 3200 and 4200, 4200 has been dropped twice from waist height onto rocks and once hit a tree. (all falling over!) still going strong

Well done, I doubt you'll regret that purchase.

Idn what they cost over there but over here you can get a zeiss conquest 3-9x40 for $450 and I have one and it's great scope. Not knocking the vx3 cos there a good scope too

Sweet, did they fit it for you as we'll ? What about rings ?
I'm getting a VX 2 from them as we'll, waiting for the next shipment though :/

I fully agree with 6MMBR, that the scope is the most important part. The English say: buy the best scope you can afford and spent the change on a rifle. I don't know if MEOPTA is available in NZ, but at this moment in Europe this is the best buy available.
The VX 2 will do the job. Leupold is very reliable and the next best thing to a quality European scope. They are used a lot on heavy recoiling calibre rifles in the US, so that speaks for himself.
