Smaller accessories and eyepieces though, definitely pays to shop around, including overseas.

Mike its interesting in all my transactions with overseas {US stores} dealers ive had the order arrive pronto {thats if i catch the wednesday USPS dispatch}, items have been in stock and feedback given .While i havent purchased/imported a full scope i think its worth exploring the option and within the domestic market defintely like Netwolf has mentioned gather all info.I just found it alarming that a supplier would advertise something that is priced out of line with other packages out there. Its a shame in the recent AST review of the HE5/100ed the retail price was questioned or compared with whats already available
