I think this model is slightly different than the actual model the Israelis use. I thought I read the "civilian" version. Used a plastic lens hood instead of all metal, to keep costs down. But the guts are the same.
400 is retail, so I'm pretty sure street prices will be much much less. This will be a great buy under 300.
