You cannot legally take a scope out of the US. I said legally. How I know is that when I was importing from Italy, my contact who I purchased guns from ( he has a shop in Brescia) asked if I could get him MEC loaders for shotguns and some rifle scopes. Was much cheaper here then him buying them in Italy. Found out that I needed an export license. Said to the Feds, wait this is stuff I can buy at a store and walk out with. Yes, but going out of the country for those items you need a license.

Now, if you put one in a bag on a plane I donot think anybody will care.

My difference was the quantity and having to ship it commercially
