I find it amazing to see that those who most support price markups, are those in business. Suspicious, yes.

dave bintel do all repairs inhouse and if you buy overseas you have to sent it back for repairs under warranty and buying local gives you that personall touch if you have any probs with setting up and scope questions try and ring overseas if theres a prob
