When they say Extremely Clear Optics with Great Light Transmission, they're telling you it's a bottom end scope.

They never say somewhat clear optics, or so-so light transmission.

I have ordered scopes from the states in the past. You need a US export permit and a Canadian import permit. The seller (cabelas) in the states needs to be cooperative in selling the item to a Cdn resident because I believe there is a portion on the export permit they need to assist with. Then you have the hassle at the border....
It is doable but After you factor in exchange, duty, taxes and your time to complete the forms and the headaches is it really worth it to save $50 - $75.

Only time I have received a scope from the states what when I imported a used rifle. I was surprised when it came with scope and rings and bases....I wasn't complaining. I used Prophet River to do the import for me and it went very smoothly.

After the huge fine Cabelas received for exporting scopes without the proper permits, they aren't at all interested in exporting scopes any more.

i'm sure one of their competitors who offers shipping services to Canada will price match if anyone is truly interested

I might be new to this but is a scope considered a gun when crossing the boarder? Why all the hassle?
