over spent my eBay limit but I got this in the mail today

I have to wonder why I can get things from the UK and Australia almost as fast as I can from here in the U.S. for only slightly more in shipping costs.

postage costs from the US blows my mind. I just tried to buy a freeland scope stand from a US based supplier, the cost of postage was almost the cost of the product, and the stand was 125 US, and yet the same product from the UK ost about 30 bucks to post to AUS, not the 95 these other jokers were after.

It's mint though. It will be perfect. I had a few years ago and whenever you put them on a new rifle they zeroed in a flash and stayed dead on.

I remember buying my first 5C from SIR in Winnipeg for $25.00 which was alot of money for me in 1961.

We used to see all of them around here. AJ Parker, Alf Parker, 5A, 5C, 5E and now...nothing. I had quite a few over time but all gone now. I had a 5C that went on an old type body cover (C.2) for the F.N.C.1 and that would zero a rifle in about five rounds. Very accurate. Apparently they were made locally for the rifle team.
