Baldrick Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 With the strength of the dollar, I can't imagine importing a scope is going to save you much after import duties and shipping costs. However, I imported a couple of scopes from these guys when the exchange rate was at its most favourable: http://www.eurooptic.com/ This may also be worth a look, Paddy: http://www.dnrsports.com/acatalog/Optics.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyCM Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Alex at europtic is a good guy to deal with - I've had scopes & bins off him in the past + used others (more recently) Some have a problem with mildot reticules & some don't want international trade! Cabelas wouldn't send me a 4" saw - how stooooopid (the US spelling) is that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigyboy Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I have done this quite a bit and never had any problems with it, I have used dnr sports and www.theopticzone.com, though dnr can be a little hard to deal with sometimes. At the minute the $ is worth close to 70p so its still gonna save you and seeing as you live in Northen Ireland I have a little tip for you, when you put in your address for the order what ever you do do not put in Northen Ireland simply put Ireland, you see the british government like to tax the hell out of you and basically by the time the import tax is on it it is hardly worth the hassle whereas the irish government are far more resonable and dont do import tax. If you put on it Northern Ireland it will come through british borders i.e England and be taxed but if you put Ireland it will be sent to Southern Ireland where it wont be taxed on entry and simply be transported over the border to you with no extras, handy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tobyb525 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I managed to get a 3-16x42 center point scope for about £30 from walmart while out bass fishing in florida! Try basspro.com as I get a lot sent over from them, also they have good postage rates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
