    Vortex Scopes

    Has anyone on here got a source of Vortex scope parts?
    I've lost the battery cover off my Viper PST and am looking for a replacement.
    I went into Taieri Arms this arvo and David was too email the distributor today and will do it next week (F*#k that!)

    Anyone out there?

    You'll get a reply from the Australasian supplier with a signature on the email saying vortex new Zealand advising to contact your local h&f for what you need. When you do that they'll tell you that there isn't a local supplier and the only way to get any info on price and availability is to email the Aussie suppliers and that's to hard to sort out so buy another brand if you can. Well that's the experience I had trying to get scope flip caps

    If i could have a full time job shooting pests i'm up for over time.

    Hey mate, try Broncos Sports in Tauranga. They are a real great bunch of fellas and stock a whole lot of Vortex stuff. Ben and Glen know a lot about them and they have the best prices I've seen yet.

    I think it was an offer of help rather than a sales pitch.
