I had read your import tutorial, and noted the 'pay through the nose' note. Hopefully, that has improved.

I look forward to pictures of your Werle Luger!!!
Drift windage adjustments work fine for me. Extra complexity and inferior ergonomics of screw adjustments don't. Elevation is a matter of holding over.

Paying through the nose is an invariant of imports. Shipping charges and customs duties are proportional to weight and cost, so apart from application and licensing fees there aren't many economies of scale. Like everything else in life, it's all about relationships, which I am cultivating to the best of my ability.
