ACOG Scopes legal into UK?

[judders]

I think I've solved your problem. I've found one on ebay for 27 quid and they'll ship from Hong Kong for free. Result. tongueout

Well, that'll do for the .22LR... Don't think it'll cut it for the 7.62!

Where in Europe have you seen them?

Lead times apply.

So why are ACOGs so expensive?

[SevenSixTwo]

They're not. Well, not in the States! They normally require an export agent who takes his cut. You get the following: Manufacturer > Dealer > Export Agent > Import/Customs Fees > Dealer's Markup. All take their cut. :(

What do they cost over in the land of the 'free'?

[Polchraine]

I would have thought getting one in from Europe is no problem at all, not requiring paperwork, VAT or anything else.

From the US, different matter. Export license, import licence, end user, blah, blah, blah....

VAT will certainly be charged, and has to be, but it could be at teh local or UK rate depending on the exact status of the company.

Depends on the model...
