Where to buy rifle scopes online?
I’ve heard of people ordering scopes online and they had them shipped to Canada from the US no problem. What sites ship rifle scopes to Canada?

Try some retailers here as well. I just ended up buying one from Canada after weighing the added cost against the possible duty charges as well as the import fee (which is generated by 4scopes).
Nothing's worse than the lunchbag letdown when you find out you have to pay another big chunk at the post office.

I dont know what you are looking for but this site seems to have a good supply http://www.higginsonpowders.com/pricelists.html and since they are in Canada there is no brokerage fee's.

Scopes
I don't think they can ship scopes from the US to Canada any more.

Pretty sure they can, it's just that most companies choose not to obtain an export permit, cause us Hillbillies is small potatoes to them.

I ordered a scope from www.opticsplanet.com and it was stopped at the border. It was explained to me that it was due to the fact that it was a rifle scope with an illuminated reticle , appearantly that puts it into a seperate class from normal optics . I got my money back when the product was returned to them in the shape It was sent in

4scopes has their ducks in a row.
Another thing to note is that if you buy a Leupold in the states - Korth(Canadian Leupold dealer) won't do warranty work on a scope purchased in the states. This is second hand info, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

That is correct, but Leupold has no problem warranting for you, it is just Korth that won't touch it.

The one at Dantes to my knowledge does not include the scope, rings, or base. That would explain the 300 dollar difference.

Tack on the money for shipping and insurance and it's the same.
