swfa scopes
Prior to the big export clamp down in the USA, I had a US friend order one for me, then send it up to me. Fantastic scope!

So there is no canadian distributor or importers ? Too bad ....
..
Because of the way the US EXPORT system works, both the exporter ( say a 3rd party) and manufacturer (distributer) must have an export licence. So if SWFA doesn't have the export licence for the scopes (SWFA branded), then nobody can export them.
(Anybody, please correct me if I am wrong on any part of this)
People bought Super Sniper scopes when there wasn't any export restrictions because they are a good deal for the price. Now we have Falcon Scopes available, buy one. I have 3 Super Sniper 10x scopes and find the Falcon scopes to be of the same or better quality.
I had several Super Sniper scopes. That was about 8 years ago long before the ITAR Rules were ever dreamed and them implemented.
I've since switched to www.allengunworks.com (CGNutz dealer who brings 'em in) and their Falcon line of scopes; Hey! I've got a kid in University! Now I own THREE of the Falcon scopes. For that price point, that's excellent quality! I gotta help out the newbs and students on a budget here. I know what it's like to be on a budget; as a student and now as a parent. It never changes. Besides Mike at Allengunworks.com is overseas in the 'Stan helping keep the 'bullies' in their sandbox.
Yes, I love Super Sniper scopes, but SWFA won't (and will not ever) ship to Kanada and you won't get much support from them! So I just stick with brands that are easily supported here in Kanukistan.
Hope this helps.
