OK lets call a spade a spade, and stop the BS. If a retailer or individual would like to ship a stock overseas why would we want to punish them, our main coal is customer satisfaction.
<span style="color: #FF0000">That was a valid question. It happens with other products. "We" know our market. Notice all the Aussies have said the same thing?</span>
We also have no way of controlling this. They will need to decide if they are going to go through proper channels or if they are going to take risk and play craps with their funds and ship the items under the table.
<span style="color: #FF0000">"Under the table" means what? If there is no issues from your end were a retailer sells the product then it's up to them. We can buy where we want and everyone is happy. It's not like there is a shortage of honest retailers who are willing, able and happy to support us taking the risks you outlined. </span>
We have lost at this crap game in the past via our funds and customer service and no longer wish to play. Please read my last post in this thread - quote (All I am trying to say is that it cost money to go through the proper channels.. Don't get me wrong, I am in no way standing up for the guys that price gouge the end user.
<span style="color: #FF0000">I don't think any of us have an issue with you no longer wanting to support our market directly and going this way. We would have an issue if we were forced to use it. MUCH of what we buy is at a inflated price that cannot reasonably be explained. Notice all the Aussies have said this and all are unhappy about it. </span>
They are not the ones responsible for our company growth. We felt that over the long run that we would be able to give better customer service and quicker delivery times to the people that mater most to us, the shooters.
<span style="color: #FF0000">I would doubt there is going to be much of a speed increase over direct orders on the whole. </span>
One of the main goals as we do this is to try and keep the cost to the end user, as close to same as it would be if he or she would go through the proper channels.. )
<span style="color: #FF0000">Which would be great. No one has a problem with this. We do have a problem with other issues which many have commented on. </span>
I am sorry but I have no way of controlling what the other countries charge for duties or what other items other than our stocks, like bullets, brass and other shooting items cost from other retails in overseas countries.
<span style="color: #FF0000">As you well know, those were examples of how we are screwed over and why we don't want to see more of this going on. </span>
If you would like to purchase a stock please let us know and we will get you fixed up asap. We will be glad to forward to an address in the US or if you give us a date that your shipping agent is going to have it picked up at our door we will make sure that it is ready to go. As long as it is a standard build we will not need a deposit, all funds are due the day of shipping. You can order through our web page or email me direct at
[email protected] and I will get you fixed up asap. Thank you very much,

"We" gave direct, accurate input, raised some issues and pointed some facts out. This was done with respect and knowing you have no idea of how our market works. No point getting wound up when your market here gives you direct input. How about you ask the importer the questions I put forwards and in a year post on a few forums or contact end users and see if the issues I raised turn out to be real ones
Maybe even poke around and see what warranty times are like with a certain popular scope brand over here.
As someone who is respected and well known for a quality product I would think the fact ALL the Aussies who replied had issues and raised concerns would make you want to think about it and not get wound up at our responses.
