Poor timing more than anything. We bought a block of land at the end of last year and are in the middle of planning our house build so money will be tight very soon. We'd love to have a larger aperture, quality built scope like the one in the classifieds but it's probably not ideal spending that sort of money right now.
Maybe in 12 months time we'd be ready to look at something like that. I'd already decided that would be our next big purchase after the house
It will cost a lot more, and the 2 year wait time will hurt but we'll be in a better position to do that. Can't rush these things I suppose!
