Hawke rifle scope prices

[Grahamcs]

Afternoon all.

Last night I just missed out on a Sidewinder 4.5-14x42 on a certain auction site.

Today I looked at Uttings and I think the prices across the Hawke range have rocketed.

IIRC the 10x42 Sidewinder used to be £249.99 until only recently, but now it's £309.99! Similarly the 4.5-14 was £339.99, and now its £379.99!

I don't think I'm imagining it and could anyone please confirm this ; Also a valid excuse ( Brexit not allowed) for this price hike would be appreciated.

TIA and apologies if posted before

I would guess at dollar price if they are made in China.
