    Not a Problem Dave . Im sure we will find you something. Can even get you a D-760 like Spanners (2 week delivery) though with a Photonis Tube, Legal (probably Unlike Spanners), Warranty and if you want parts no problem.... (unlike Spanners). Spanners D-760 has the ITT Pinnical Tube but it still has a Russian Housing. Its very much a trade off and having used a fair bit of U.S Gen3 I have come to the conclusion that for the extra bit of view if you are not in a life or death situation. The Risk of imprisonment, lack of warranty and the fact if it goes Kaput you can`t get it fixed just isnt worth the Hassel. That said I won`t touch anything with a Ex Eastern block Tube, their housings and optics are ok though and a lot of the stuff sold in the U.S even Gen3 has Russian housings and also in many cases Tubes though in general not the Gen3 as the Russian tubes are more expensive then the U.S ones and not as good.
    Talk soon Darrin
