Shipping a scope from the USA to the UK.

[rhyslightnin]

Just a quick question regarding the above. There seems to be a number of restrictions in place that mean companies cannot ship scopes to the UK above a certain magnification. Do these restrictions apply to private individuals or can they ship what they want?. Many thanks if you can help.

Kindest regards

You could try Brownells UK.. they ship from American soil, they are expensive but if your ordering from uk skipping the hassle of import duty and having somewhere to return it to is worth a bit I think.

I think £18 is when you get charged for VAT? I've always been hit for VAT and a 'handling charge' on the scopes I've imported.

I also see SWFA have resumed exporting to the U.K.

/goes off to check the value of the pound to the dollar.
