That site again

[CINDERS]

Well these may get to and surpass Mk 32 scope prices as one set I saw in the UK went for $340.oo/AU I thought that was expensive. But this takes it to a whole new level of ludicrous speed (Coined from the movie "Spaceballs") guess if you want something bad enough.....

The main problem with "that site" may well not be the price, but anything posted there suffers the automatic opprobrium of very likely not being authentic.
