Matt if that doesn't work out for you try the following link at Kalinka Optics - http://www.mikadox.com/index.php?lang=ru&index=127 they have that scope listed at $199 and have a warehouse here in the DC area (although all the scopes at one point come from Russia and if they are out of stock it probably will take a bit longer), or Tantal's site at http://www.tantal.kalashnikov.guns.ru/bstpso.html he has them listed at $235 and in stock.
