New Howa stock

This is pretty good.

I ordered a Boyd's Thumbhole in Nutmeg on the 25th of April, and on checking the tracking I find that it's already in Australia and on its way to the destination.

Not bad.

JD :D

Nice.

I sort of thought the days of ordering Boyds stuff from oversea's was done with some of the costs of the stocks?

$10 or $20 over the limit or whatever?

I've read people having troubles.

$100 limit on the export and some of the stocks are $109 or $119.

I think in the past they shuffled the paperworks around a big so the stock was cheaper, but the shipping was more to balance out.

I think a few people got knocked back in more recent days on that option though?

It's one of their laminated thumbholes and the US price is $99 by the time it gets here US Postal will add about $67 to that. They don't include shipping to the $100 limit. I'll let you know when it arrives, I'm expecting it Monday or Tuesday.

Ah so still under the $100 limit then.

Guess it's just some models people are having problems with.
