Come on rinso, give it a rest :P

Mate I am a vortex convert but I want to go full euro on this one, it will just not be right of there was a seppo or asian scope on this rifle.... its got a hogsback stock, iron sights, a mauser action in a metric cartridge.

Here is an update, my honesty just cost me a free rifle!

It turns out the blokes from the victorian gun shop sent up the rifle to Jansas, but never charged my card!

I rang them today to find out why they had not charged my account, and if there was a problem with my card and they didnt send the rifle up. Turns out they sent the rifle up but never charged my account!

If I didnt call them they would never have known that the rifle wasn't paid for!

The gun shop bloke was grateful I called and gave the rifle to me for cost price... I should have tried to get some norma or lapua brass out of him though.

Honesty probably saved you money in the long run, come tax time when the accountants start to pour over the books they would have found the discrepancy it and charched you full price. Nothing in the world of moneyis hidden forever.

Anyway you definately felt better being honest didnt you
