Hello melvin,

I dont think you can import a scope if you are not a member of a local shooting club. (not sure)

Also let me know where you are from and where you bought these rifles! Looks like you have a large collection of desi plinkers! I would love to see these!

cheers!

please check... some say it might pass off as hand luggage and might go unnoticed

Ask him to look for one which is air rifle rated. A 3-9x40 or 3-12x40 or similar should be more than enough.
I have an Al Sayaad carry bag that has a Bushnell logo. So I assume they carry Bushnell scopes.
If thats the case ask him to check for

Bushnell Sportsman Airgun Scope 3-9X 32 Multi-X Gloss 1" Adjustable Objective 16.6oz 0.25MOA

They also carry Diana, Zeiss and Leupold range.

All Diana scopes are airgun rated. Diana have a 3-9x and the new 4-16x and 6x24x

Zeiss and Leopold are very good but very expensive.

Also check out below for medum and heavy rating scopes.

Scope selection is not an easy matter. Go for the best you can afford. You don't purchase them on an annual basis.

Another more reasonable brand price wise is Leapers. Try a 4X 40 UTGF fixed power, it is a beautiful scope with mildots, 5 inch extended eye relief, true strength platform, comes with scope mounts and flip open lens caps and built in integral sunshade and all and not more than $60 in the USA. They are springer rated and more than enough for your shooting needs.
