Hi,
Yeah, lost the top turret on my SS 10x42.
I didn't even contacted SWFA, I know it won't work. They are against ANY shipping to Canada, or even to an usa adress if the credit card is charged from Canada.
I tried Leupold and Nikon target turrets, don't work.
anyone has an idea?
Thanks!

Do some research on Nikko Sterling scopes... I have seen a Nikko labelled scope in the UK that was a dead ringer for the SuperSniper.. it may turn out that the Nikko I saw was a re-labelled SuperSniper..if so they may have compatible parts ... otherwise I believe that SuperSniper was a proprietary scope to SWFA ... and the US jihad/embargo against Canada will continue to screw you.

Well without getting into the ITAR stuff, they may??? be more approachable about your situation? since they are not selling you a scope, and you are looking for a replacement part that, well you kinda need to use the scope. Just my $.02

Or post on Snipers Hide, and I'm sure some good hearted neighbour down south will help you out?

SWFA export policy: http://swfa.com/ExportPolicy.aspx

unfortunately seems pretty final to me....
 
*Update*

Just to let you lads know, and to pass on the information in case someone else gets in the same trouble:

I got this from the Sniper's Hide forum.

Kenton Industries make custom turrets for many scopes companies, and they ship those turrets to Canada.
It happens that the SWFA SS scopes are one of the brands they make turrets for, so I'm ordering one today.

Thanks to all.
