    All I'm going to say is be aware of the manufacture's warranty policies before deciding it's cheaper to import (in the cases where that optic is available here in Canada) For example, any Leupold imported outside of Korth carries no Canadian warranty. There are others as well, so be aware and decide knowing the whole picture.

    some scopes bought in the states that are offered in canada are still covered by warranty, instead of sending them back to the canadian distributor you simply fill out the paperwork yourself and send the scope to the USA for warranty, of the majors that is actually how it is for sightron

    It won't be an issue with the scope you imported as they go to the USA factory for warranty anyway.

    Why is everyone so sceptical..... In 40 years, I have never needed ANY warranty service on any scope - and I have over 40 rifles with scopes on....If someone else wants to import scope from the USA or anywhere else for that matter, let them be. It's just rude to make stupid comments.

    Thats true, but I double checked with sightron and there is no issue on warranty for scopes brought in from the USA. Of all the scopes I have witnessed needing warranty repair work nothing above the tasco/bushnell/vortex have ever required a visit.......you get what you pay for
