jonher 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I'm after a Simmons Whitetail Classic 6.5-20x50 mil-dot reticle. I've seen them on MidwayUSA for $130 but don't want to pay all the import tax cos money is pretty tight at the moment. Does anyone have a contact in the US who could post it over to me, they could put it up on eBay and I would pay via PayPal so everything is legit? Any help would be appreciated? Cheers Quote Link to post

lgray88 4 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 saw one for sale on ebay from the states. i think they wanted £145 , i got the standard 30/30 type one here and i didnt get any import tax i havent been taxd yet , as most hops over there who send to britain send it as a gift under the value of 50 dollars i think this gets them out of paying the tax. $130 does seem rather cheap though Quote Link to post

They are exclusive to Midway USA...even Midway UK can't import them, all the best, I tried to get one a few months back and Midway USA will not ship to the UK... so you will need to find another way of getting one into the UK!!
