    I ordered off blackhawk several years ago so it may be worth checking to see if they still ship international.

    If you buy it direct or from another seller the tax coming into the EU will still have to be paid, the difference being you dont add the mark up yourself so 9/10 it works out cheaper.

    What Bipod are you looking for ?

    So your saying I should just order and pay the tax myself? I thought shops were exempt from those taxes so they could sell to us cheaper.. am I wrong?

    Email them and ask for a shipping cost and ask for EU dealers.

    Convert the over all price (bipod+shipping) to Euro and add 23% for vat that youll be paying on import, there will be duty too but it wont be that much at all. Itll give you a very good idea to compare to other sellers.

    Exempt from VAT ... I wish haha !

    Havent been online for awhile.

    But yeh. They emailed me back pretty much saying they wouldnt sell direct to me because Im outside the US but gave me a link to an EU seller

    http://shop.edgarbrothers.com/pages/BlackHawk3.aspx

    Problem is they dont have the bipod, so Im not sure what I'll do now.

    Ive had a bad experience with harris (I know it was probably a 1 in a million bad bipod I got) but its kinda put me off them.

    Atlas is waay out of budget.

    Blackhawk seemed to be perfect. It was within budget and wasnt a complete no-name from china.
