[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2101344, member: 116486"] Not really. About 10 years ago when our dollar was strong they worked out cheap. At the time Boyd's could export product under $100 without restriction. Many models were $99 so straight from them to me we ith a $60 postage. Now add inflation that's mate $200, the fall in our dollar add maybe 50 percent. $300, they have effectively doubled. They are imported I'm not sure its by a wholesaler or large gunshop with a US business. Anyway with ground mail in Australia they could come in near $400. The same large gunshop does Howa Boyd's packages at times that are good value if they offer a configuration you want whem they do a run. Prairie dogs I would like to shoot them too. O have not tried Varminting as such. I hear these can be quite big numbers. We don't have rabbits in the numbers we had pre a Calici virus outbreak. They come back in cycles in lesser numbers. I saw the Rock Hyrax in Africa, my only international trip. I did not shoot the Hyrax but I would consider it worth a go. I done a full hunt to do Africa on a budget. I should have asked to try a Hyrax with a different rifle. They are possibly the size of your Prairie Dog and they are somehow classified as being related to Elephant, hard to believe but they explained how. [/QUOTE]
