I could be wrong but the last DLX I saw on the trading post sold with rings and went for $165 shipped to the US. It was not NIB but that should give you a basis for reasonable comparison and I think it also started out around the $180 mark.

Leupold is a great product . But be careful about putting our noses up in the air when it comes to Excalibur's "Chinese" made scopes . Only the gold ring Leupold's are assembled in the U.S.A but the lenses come from Asia. And I know that my Nikon was made in Taiwan. A good scope is a good scope and a bad one is bad. If we think U.S.A means only quality and Asia only makes junk . We are being naive . Before someone jumps down my throat. Let me say that I have work on machines from around the world for the past 35 years and have come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter what country they came from . Some are made well and some are junk.

The thing is the quality control can be real sketchy with the "cheap imported scopes". I bought a package gun some years back with what amounted to a $30 Simmons scope on it that actually turned out to be a pretty decent scope, hunted with it for 2 years and took a few deer with it. It wasn't a Leupold but that's not what I paid for and not what I expected to get. The next package gun was a .22 with the exact same scope, absolutely would not hold zero even with subsonics, it was junk when they put it in the box. With a Leupold you pretty much can rest assured you'll get a good scope, and if you do happen to get a dud, they stand behind it.

Correct, Leupold quote says it best.
"Leupold uses foreign sourced components for some parts of Golden Ring products, primarily lenses. This is because at this time, there is no American manufacturer that can supply the quantity of high quality lenses that Leupold needs for its annual Golden Ring Optics production. Leupold’s lens systems are designed at Leupold, by American optical engineers, in its state-of -the-art optics lab and then procured from outside vendors who must meet stringent quality standards.
Incoming parts are carefully inspected in our testing facility before they are accepted into the assembly process. Incidentally, all major optics producers worldwide acquire some or all of their glass from the same sources as Leupold. Some of these sources are located domestically, some are European, and some are Asian. Leupold has acquired its lenses this way for over 50 years."

Yes Excal stands behind their stuff no question, I'm more referring to if you go buy a cheapo scope off the shelf, you might just get stuck with whatever you got.
Still shooting the TZ, I'm liking it. At higher powers you can tell its not a Zwarovksi but it's holding zero dead bang, so far so good. I think in our little microcosm here the problems with the TZ might appear worse than they really are on the whole.

Love the Zwarovksi's

Also is it legal to ship scopes across the border to the US? I know a lot of US retailers won't ship to Canada.
$180 is 40% less than $300. My suggested price was a bit more conservative at 50% off $300, but that's my nature. I say post it in the Trading post at your price and let it ride.
I am not sure of the legality in shipping a scope from Canada to the U.S.A., but it has been discussed here in the past.
