6.5-20X40 on mine
Well, I just paid the down payment on my Swiss Arms PE-90 Black Target special (flat top). The rifle is still at the store until it's all completey paid for. At least it's reserved for me and locked up in the back. Other than having to come up with two more large payments, I'm like a kid at Christmas.
This UN marking thing has me a bit worried too. So I jumped at the chance. One to two months and it'll be in my safe.
I have to stop buying these things. I still need a bunch of scopes. When an opportunity comes up I guess you just have to go for it. Better to do without the scopes and get the rifle. At least that's what I told myself.
if it's new, it really isn't hard to figure that one out. *cough*only one importer*cough*
I'm bias given I've always been a fan of high power scopes. It works for me.

I just special ordered a Classic Green 14.3" Carbine from Wolverine (9 months to wait), do they get it through TSE? I was under the impression they (Wolv.) handled the import... guess I'll have UN etching regardless. Oh well...
as far as i understand they come through TSE.
maybe redleg or someone else who knows the deal can correct me if i'm wrong.
Rebel, nice glass. Most of the scoped PE-90s around here seem to have Zeiss, Swarovski (sp?), Leupold and the odd NF on them. Zeiss Conquest seems to be the ticket for me. It's good enough that I don't have to hang my head low around NF buggers like Rebel!!!
Armament,
I'm biased too. I love shooting scoped rifles. Let me put it this way on my next major buy after this one is all paid for I'll be getting:
1) Leupold 6.5-20x 40mm EFR for my Kimber .22 SVT
2) Four, Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x 50mm scopes for the rest of my rifles.
If I want to shoot iron sights I'll shoot my pistols, or a shotgun
Yup they all come through The shooting edge. However they have a lot of dealers and you may find one at a dealer's store if you're lucky. I know there is a wait list at the place I bought mine from. It's a popular rifle and not that many are imported.
Scoco
The big fear is that the companies won't bother for Canada with the UN markings. Even the really popular rifles such as Remington etc will then ship up one batch a year only. So the supply of rifles will be seasonal. Rifles like the Swiss Arms/Sig and other less common specialty rifles will be even harder to get if not impossible. Since the company won't bother for such small orders. Anyways that's the fear. Most believe it will just be rolled back as has happened so far, but there are no guarantees. It's a bit of a wild card right now.

AFAIK you are correct. I did say I was getting it through Wolverine... not sure how the import is handled though.
Is that the standard 14.3" carbine to which you refer? I didn't know there was a 552-LB...
