Does anyone know where I can track down one of these in Canada?

There's one on snipers hide for $255 shipped:

Since the itar has been relaxed to $500 without any special export papers , I would think you would not have too much trouble finding someone to ship. Am I wrong about the itar? I know midway etc still aren't following the new regulations....

$500 is for gun parts. Scopes are still controlled under ITAR, AFAIK.

Interesting, I found a summary of itar that says riflescopes not made to military specs (and non combat shotguns with >18" barrel!)

It's to bad I could use one of there fx8x40 leupold for my 243...

The problem is that they define "manufactured to military specifications" as meaning any scope that has mil-spec type features. Target turrets, illumination, Mil-dot reticle, etc. And the SS scopes WERE made to military specs, so they're definitely on the list

However, you can still export most of this stuff, you just need the proper import and export permits.
