I managed to find an importer for MGM barrels up here. I have ordered the 30-30 barrel.
It's a shocker when you pay in Canuckian dinars for goods out of the US. With shipping, import fees and taxes, the order comes to $775 CDN. Divide that by 1.4 (exchange) and you get $553 USD. So, a quick tally goes something like this: All figures in CDN Dinars (Alms! Alms! I'll break your Alms!)
action $650
barrel $775
scope $225
base and rings $100
Total - $1750 (I coulda bought a No 1
)
But going forward, it will be cheaper. The import fees and the weak dinar make it 'spensive. The importer tells me about three months before I have it in my hands. August, I guess.
So, everything is complete. I just have to wait now.
