Thanks Andy.
Have just received an e mail back from dnrsports saying they will ship to UK.
Didnt say how much though!

I have e mailed orctechnologies for a price including shipping. Their scope price is a bit better. Will let you know when I receive a reply.
I am seriously considering one of these scopes, I have never had an AO scope before, can anyone tell me:
Is it possible to range find with a 4 - 14 x 32 scope?
Is the depth of field the same on an AO scope as on a non AO scope, assuming they are both set to the same range. So if I set this scope to 30m and just leave it there will it be the same as a non AO scope set at 30m?
Does the longer eye relief increase, decrease or have no effect on the chance of parallax error. It will not always be possible to focus the scope correctly?
Will it be as bright as a cheap Hawk 40mm scope and suitable for lamping?
So many questions I know, thanks for any replies.
Depends on how you define rangefinding. If you mean rangefinding by PX then it will be possible but it'll be quite unreliable. This scope has nowhere near high enough mag or large enough objective to rangefind by PX reliably and at range. To do so would necessitate minimum magnification of around 30x and a front end of 40mm or more.
AO should have little impact on the DOF of a scope. That's a product of the magnification and objective size. In this case, for a given level of mag, the 32mm objective should ensure a greater DOF than a scope with a larger front end.
This depends entirely on who you talk to. However, picking a sensible PX distance and an appropriate mag setting should mean that it won't need the px reset for every shot. In fact this is precisely the scenario that HFT shooters find themselves in.
Decent optics and the coatings of those optics play a large part in the light transmission (brightness) of a scope. In the case of the small objective Burris the greater quality of lens may well cancel out the extra 8mm of objective that the Hawke has (for a given mag setting).
Fabricatum diem, pvnc!
Wow that was quick. Thanks Sam, I was probably expecting a bit much to be able to use it for range finding.
Just received one of these scopes.
I currently use a little Leup 3 - 9 x 33 EFR and find it excellent for my failing eyesight . These are available at around £350.
The Timberline is a very similar spec scope and well worth a try. Cost from the States is around $205 plus post. This worked out at around £165. There was a further £40 to pay in taxes so a total of £205 for what is an excellent scope.
The ret is the "Ballistic Plex" which has a couple of useful aimpoints on it.
The scope was purchased from http://www.dnrsports.com/ who were excellent. Mark Komoroski at Dnr was really helpful.
Just one point. The scope was sent via USPS and you can track it all the way.
The last note on the tracking was that an attempted delivery was made at 3.41 am . Tracking then stops as it's handed over to the U.K. Postal Service.
Parcel Force then wrote for their money
After staying in all day I went shooting, only to return and find £200 of scope on my doorstep
If your thinking of a nice versatile and practical scope the Timberline is worth consideration. As is Dnr for the purchase.
