Just be careful as they advertised the 6 - 24 x 50 as a FFP when they were in fact SFP (on TM). i purchased one from them thinking the price was good and it would save the hassle of getting one from the states. Purchased scope, vortex rings and some bases. Turned up a couple of days later. Mounts fitted rifle, rings didn't fit mounts. wrong scope. Rung up and said it wasn't right - 'oh supplier must have sent wrong ones, have to wait till next shipment arrives in a few weeks time'. 10 weeks later still no scope, whats going on. ring up, 'was just about to call you and say the supplier hasn't sent your scope'. Great. I figure they realised they had stuffed up the prices between the two models and weren't going to admit it. Was going to get a credit and source one from the states like i originally intending but still had the scope sitting on the bench. Got pissed off with all the dicking around and just decided to use it anyway. Missed out on a couple of good long range stags during the roar as i only had my old shitter scope on and didn't want to take the shot. So pretty disappointing really. But at least i didn't have to wait a year like you... im a pretty patient guy but thats just mean.

Yeah had a similar experience - ended up getting from the states. Took 3-4 weeks and that was via Oz to side step duty
