Super Sniper scope

[Hunter7]

I have a 20x Super Sniper, great scopes for the money. Yeah, good luck getting one from SWFA, they avoid Canada like the plague they won't ship anything here, even binoculars. You see them on Ebay once in a while but those guys won't ship to Canada either. I get a laugh out of people from the U.S. bidding higher for a used Super Sniper on Ebay than they could easily order BRAND NEW from SWFA for less.

SWFA own the rights to the Super Sniper now and have for some time. I was at SWFA Red Oak, TX before Christmas. There are no plans at this time to setup any Canadian importer. Believe me, if it could happen I'll be the first to open shop. He'll still take US money, but never a Canadian or foreign credit card.

True, but Hakko still sells thier "Tactical" scopes, and I don't see any difference except for the name. - dan

You make a good point, but damn if I can find any info about Hakko on google. I see a few dealers in the USA who sport them. If someone could get me a link or info about their headquarters I'll dig in about seeing what can be done about importing them here in Canada.

Until then, I'll keep trying to soften up SWFA and hope to import them that way. I visit them once a month on business if need be.

Just take out the space after http and try that. I also have an email directly from Hakko here somewhere, in which they state they will ship direct. I assume that would be for company sized orders, of course. - dan

This is just another dealer in optics much like SWFA. What I need is the supplier from Hakko itself.

I'll try and find it and send it to you CH. - dan

Here's the sitrep from what I can gather.

Tasco who originally produced the SS went out of business some time ago. Bushnell now makes the SS and they may have contracted Hakko [who makes several scopes for many brands] to do some jobbing. Who knows?

At this point, SWFA controls the patent and rights and they won't tell me anything. I'll still have to work out some kind of export deal with SWFA if that's possible. Time will tell as to what Bushnell will do also.
