ZeroTech TRACE ADV 3-18×44 FFP Shoot2Hunt

[solarshooter]

You can order them at the discounted rate on the shoot2hunt website. They made them available shortly after the preorder this morning. I grabbed a couple sets for my 2 scopes from the first preorder and it gave the discounted price

OK just to clarify, I preordered mine yesterday with caps for an extra 79$. But this is just one cap for the objective and is more expensive than if I just ordered separately from UM? Haha I must be missing something...

The pre-order price of scope + bumpers changed partway thru yesterdays drop.
I also pre-ordered for $179 at 0900 PST, with an additional $950 due at time of shipment.
I noticed a few hours later the pre-order of scope + bumpers was $229 (or maybe a few $ less?)

I am assuming we will get both front and rear caps, but 6 months from now you, myself, and some others will settle up $950 while everyone else only settles up for $900.

Anyone want aadland caps? I need to contact him once measurements are confirmed.

I like the push button on the ocular.

I did too until mine broke ...

Any flip up is breakable. I understand that and am willing to keep a spare set on hand so I can snap them up quickly when needed

Those new caps look nice, but the zerotech whatever blah blah 3-18 is designed for a Tenebraex to snap on the rear (no tightening collar) and thread in on the front. They've worked just fine on many other scopes I've had that share that compatibility (ZCO, Steiner, Minox etc) and don't require slipping anything over either end of the scope.

So who triggered the Snipers Hide guys again???

They triggered themselves but I couldn’t stay away. That place is worse than cigarettes

Pretty fair and down to earth assessment.

Canadian here that orderd two in the first batch direct from UM. Id be willing to bet by the time my scopes make it to Canada they will not be any cheaper than what's listed on zerotech's canada website. Hopefully UM handles the export paperwork well like maven has in the past but if they had gotten the Canadian site ready for the first drop they would have saved themselves some hassle as we could of just ordered direct from there. If I do get mine cheaper it will be a happy accident and if not I made the choice to go early and will accept if that turns out more costly than waiting. I'm lucky to have the budget for my impatience at least in this case.

Where would the extra ~CAD 400 come from? Is UM charging to do the export paperwork?

 

[Jordan Smith]

To make up for the US discounted price.

S2H is essentially direct to consumer in the US, but outside the US the scope is going through the standard distribution channels, which add middle-man markup.

 

[Jordan Smith]

Unless S2H changes the price, the only additional cost is paying tax and a $10 service charge by CBSA.

Exactly. The reason for the price difference is not tariffs/duty, but distribution model.

 

[Jordan Smith]

I've never not been hit by brokerage fees and or duties on any american orders. Most of the time adds couple hundred bucks with tax and fees. Maybe I'll get lucky this time but I'd be surprised. Worth it either way in my opinion

You must use UPS and FedEX Ground for shipping.

The red dot shows up a lot brighter in this video that I thought it would...
