    They are mine as well, much better service through Europe, US, and Africa. Larger consignments we use Geodis and Total Freight

    I mean I should add.
    It is the first time I've had an issue with shipping with UPS, other than always needing to chase them up for an invoice for duties so my parcels can clear. FedEx in my experience is much more efficient in sorting pre clearance.

    For the record, Arken Optics had a sale (maybe still have it), and I grabbed another SH4 for something like $325.. only to see they have the EP5 for less than $500 a month later Anyway, it has arrived, no issues whatsoever. This time it seems Dubai customs didn't even scratch around in the box as the box was unopened and no customs stickers on it..



    The first one is still on my 300PRC, survived a bad fall (long story), and after 200 rounds still tracks fine...and even with the brake the 300PRC has a stout recoil... so for a 'budget' optic its been doing very well.
