The other day I ordered an EGW picatinny base for a Savage L/A and Opticsplanet emailed me back saying it's on hold because of export restrictions and saying I need an important license.. I thought I heard they sent scopes to NZ with no problems?
If anyone can help/suggest way around the problem that would be great :)
I have one of those bases here (new) if that solves your problem.
Is it round back? And long action?Quote:

stop buying from opticsplanet, they're terrible and never ship, for like the thousandth time
Do they do refunds?
That's weird how you had no problems and they won't ship mine..Quote:

Go direct to EGW.
For those of us who aren't the fizziest bottle in the crate, who are EGW?
I don't know what else they make but I have 2 rails so I know they make rails

You can talk to them on-line, I did that as it said my scope had export restrictions...
I spend ~95% locally for my shooting habit. :)

Got mine direct from EGW. Also I have bought 3 scopes and other stuff from "webyshops" and found them cheep and they ship stuff others wont.
Thanks for the replies, think I'll get a refund and try somewhere else

Else where will send to NZ. Or you can send it to the NZ Post Youshop. Look into how much it's likely to cost, as it may be way easier to buy it from a shop on NZ.
Optics planet say 40USD, so roughly 50NZD then 20-30 probably for shipping.
Reloaders in Auckland have them for $89, Serious shooters for $100, and Gunworks in Christchurch have them for $100 too.
Amazon have them for the same 40USD as Opticsplanet, but free shipping in the USA.
To have in shipped from the Youshop to NZ will be either 22NZD or 26NZD, probably the lesser.
I am yet to find a store in NZ that stocks one for a Savage long action..Quote:

Opticsplanet won't ship any of the EGW items as some have 'Tactical' in the name, this makes them an ITAR restricted item. On the product page it will either say Restricted or ITAR - if its ITAR it requires state department permits. You can try going via Youshop, but NZPost/Youshop will not send anything firearm related, so if the consignment note even implies that it might be used with a firearm, they won't send forward it. (They will offer to destroy it for you, if you want).
OpticsPlanet shipping is expensive so its worth ordering a few bits and pieces to spread the cost.
Pretty sure Brownells will export EGW
I'm not sure about egw, but brownells shipped me a warne rail a couple of days ago
