Careful what you wish for...

There is no doubt the current high $A to $US is a bit of a boon for US gear
at present, but I was crest-fallen to discover US manufacturers are starting to get hit hard with higher materials costs and are starting to pass these on.

As a case in point RCOS list pricing for 12, 14, and 16" scopes is approximately, $US33k, $44K and $55K respectively (the latter being a $16K price hike!! )

With the US inching toward default, it will be interesting to see what will happen next....
