[todbartell]

I got it on Ebay, for $325 US + $20 ship + $57 canadian customs

$468 total

they sell on Ebay-stores for $380 US, + shipping & customs, I bet you'd get it on your door in Canada for $510

(they sell in WholeSale/Russells for $635 after tax & ship!)

Rick Bin the guy who runs the 24hourcanpfire has a pretty good rep.

I was interested in how these FX scopes perform. I am entertaining the idea of putting one on my PE90 , but with higher power. Is 6x42 enough to shoot targets at 200-300 yards? I was thinking about using FXIII 12x40.

I bought my McMillian stock and Talley rings from him...great service and prices, highly recommend him.

 

[todbartell]

I've bought 3 or 4 Leupolds off him and a McMillan as well, top notch

last I heard when I PM'd him a couple months ago, was that he was having big time delays at the border shipping scopes??

if that has been sorted out, then he's the place to get them


PS. here's a pic of my new FXIII on my 30-06

You should have got them to send the scope as a "gift" then you wouldn't have any border fee's

 

[Furync]

I thought a scope counted as a "gun part" therefore a lot of trouble to get across the border... Did it go smooth?

Nice scope!
