    A mate went to Australia a few months back and bought a NX8 2.5-20x50 and a 2.5-10x42 the same price the NX8 is here in NZ.

    Yes it was 2 scopes with the correct customs paperwork and had the Aus gst taken off at the airport. A bloody good deal for the exact same price that Hardyrifle engineering sell a NX8 2.5-20x50 F1 for.

    What's the chance of a sticky with the forms involved and how to do it.
    Can you organize all this before you head over to aussie?

    Considering that NF and Delta are both made by OLI in Japan ( NF being US assembled ) is NF worth twice the price for a slightly heavier tube ? The Delta scopes are optically the same or better some say than NF
