SwampTHING I hear you I live in Canada and to try to get a gun up from the states its a pain in the a$$.I got lucky and my brother was looking out for me and give me a brand new scope.I might have been able to get the gun a little cheaper but the gun shop is 10min away from my house.Iam not complaining I just see the deals state side and wish that we could get deals like that.
