 Please remember guys .... we don't want top of the line equipt. used against our boys in Iraq .... don't sell to other countries .... I'm talking to private sellers now .... not SWFA . I know some buyers have asked sellers to package and ship in fraudulent packaging and details of contents on ebay and private sales .

Better then Scmidt and Bender, Steiner, Zeis.
How about Sako Sniper Rifles, AK47, Heym, Steyr, Heckler and Koch.  and the list goes on.
I know your Govt has their reasons to restrict firearm sales in big volumes.
But come on guys, all we are looking for is the cheap American prices.
I bought a Remington from America, but had to do it via my local dealer and pay 3 times the going price. But I still got it._
 
I am not asking anyone to break the law and sell or mail stuff. I am merely asking for a little sympathy towards fellow hunters and optics users.

Until a few weeks back this post had been dead for two years. I know you understood why SWFA has their policy and it was left at that.
I wouldn't worry to much about the comments posted. We know who you and 8Shots are and value input from you guys. It is always a pleasure to hear from folks that are in other areas of the world.

I think it's a pitty that SWFA doesn't ship to other countries. Many US firms do it and do it legaly as that is fully possible.
It is quite comic when a European hunter is regarded by the American government as beeing a terrorist for wanting to purchase a Zeiss rifle scope from the US, a scope which can be found in any European hunting store. If he were a terrorist, he will probably not risc getting on the FBI list for purchasing stuff in the US when he can do it without a problem in Germany, England, France or any other European country.
The reson european hunters buy their items in the US is because they are much cheaper. In other words a Zeiss scope is being produced in Germany, exported to the US (where custom fees and VAT are applied), then bought by a European hunter who pays extra shipping and custom fees+VAT again when introducing the scope into Europe and it is still a better deal for the poor hunter. Can you imagine the rip off prices that European Hunters are supposed to pay? These ones would come in thousands to buy from you.
 
The fraud problem with the credit cards exists all over the world but it is easily solved by the firms credit card checks. Then there are plenty of other payment methods which work quite well, such as bank transfer etc.
 
A lot of American firms have revised their policy on shipping abroad during the last year and I guess, it shouldn't be so difficult for SWFA to do the same. People who want the stuff will eventually get it somewhere else while you guys are missing out on a lot of proffits. You have a strong internationally established brand name and I am sure that could result in many interested clients.

A lot depends if the seller is also a supplier to the military as SWFA is. Government contracts contain a lot of restrictive clauses. Thunbs Up I applaud SWFA for taking all efforts to keep weapons from our enemy's.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

It is more on your own governments than it is on ours. Due to the strict enforcement by those governments of importation of sporting goods designed to enable firearms efficiency, or ability. They have certain dealers they allow, so that they can keep records and recieve pay offs as well. Because of this, our own government has to put international trade laws in place. these laws affect most businesses here. licensing for international web based business would be steep and sales would be too weak to warrant the expense and hassle.
It is completely on your own governments. It is their wishes and desires to hold some control over you. Do not blame us here. It won't solve your problems.

It is a pity that you don't export to other parts of the world. here in Australia we are committed to Afghanistan and Iraq and are still there after many other countrys have pulled out. We have treatys with the USA and enjoy and promote democracy and free enterprise and trade.
 
It is a pity that sporting scopes can not be sold to us as well. I can understand our Portuguese friends frustration and I don't enjoy being treated as a second class ally
 
Payments can also be made other than by credit card.

I doubt they MISSED anything... Most people outside of the US are so used to blaming us for everything, they refuse to acknowledge their own ountry's faults in any regard, especially when it involves them not getting something they want from a US Source.
