Recently I posted that I was a little annoyed that I could not buy grips etc through Ruger (although I was good enough to buy one of their pistols at an inflated rate (900.00 aus) than you would buy).
Any way I ended up getting a volq accurising kit and other things etc to upgrade it further costing nearly another 300US. (from the US I might add)
I also wanted a small scope directlly mounted to the pistol, the only option I could find was the burris fast fire11. I enquired here and they wanted 530.00 for the scope buy it self. The scope in the US retails for around 200.00 or 240aus!!!!!!!! 1/2 the price.
So I placed and order with Optics Planet.
This is the reply i just received.
