    I mentioned this back in my post #6.

    Not sure where the 180,000,000 comes from?

    90m divided by 11164 = 8,061 by my maths, which given likely includes optics and accessories as shown. However, I suspect the 90m is like all these new...

    No they weren't.....not in an individual case with scope and bits like the No.4T was.
