Hey guys. I'm looking to buy a
Sightron 6-24x50 SIII. I see them for sale in the USA on line and they're way cheaper than NZ prices . My question is how/who freights them to New Zealand. I see the US government has export restrictions on some things? Has anyone else brought one on here in New Zealand imported them?

These guys are having a liquidation sale. !

Hey no worries. NZ could /should make more here ourselves we are lucky only have to provide for 4.5 million. We grow enough food and have enough water. SIII will be here soon. Thanks for your opinions and advice
THOMAS that's what my number crunch gave me depends on the exchange rate and price you pay. I paid US $788.88 plus freight of US $59 from 4Scopes for the 25133 .

Well after waiting for replies from emails and phone calls I finally got to talk to a person instead of a answer phone. FedEx are short staffed and when I spoke to them they were very helpful and walked my paper work for clearance I got a call five minutes later paid the $224 no GST and it will arrive in the morning. Woo-hoo Look out Bambi! Thanks for all your help and suggestions guy's. Thanks Nathan for the best advice and information.

I doubt you have to make the scopes...just obtain a licence agreement to assemble the parts which are manufactured by contractors in Japan. Many companies do this and either assemble the parts in the USA, Philippines or etc... So why not in New Zealand as well?

Re: Buying Sightron SIII from USA
Just a round up . The Scopes absolutely fantastic guy's. Honestly your a fool if you buy anything else. I have a Night Force 1-4X scope the glass is amazing with luminated recital. Awesome to use for Bush shooting but the $3100.00 odd price tag make it a lifetime purchase. The Sightron SIII is just as clear and repeatedly adjustable accuracy. I'm convinced that I could write my initials in bullet on the target if I work out the clicks to do it! Lol
Thanks for the Great Advice Nathan, I listened and you where right. How lucky are we to have access to the right no "Bovine excrement" information . Thanks
