Hello,
I live in the United States and am shopping for a Swarovski scope (e.g., STX85). The pre-tax price at online shops in Europe (are they tax-exempt if we buy from countries like Germany or Sweden?) is lower than pre-tax price in the US, and I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on buying it from these sellers. How about warranty and repair? I understand that if you buy outside of North America, you will need to send your scope to wherever you buy (e.g., Swaro in Austria) for a repair. What are the pros and cons of doing so, compared with sending it to Swaro in USA)? Thank you for your input.
