    Except there are regular sales on leupold in the US in the range of 20% plus off etc which is rare to non existent here. A vx3i 3.5-10x40 CDS zl can be had for 500 or less on a regular basis so at current conversion (71cents) 700nzd then 15% so 800 that leaves alot for the 1100 price here. Plus they buy them wholesale not retail. Freight per item is significantly reduced by importing in bulk. The prices are right on the borderline of unreasonable but I'd say still just within reason.

    Just to add a Z5 3.5-18x44 was cheaper to buy in NZ until the recent price jump last year.
