Thanks

> The answer is simple.
> One can get an unmounted scope as a personal baggage - I got mine!
> A gun mounted with a scope looks more intimidating than a gun without one. Just imagine the look on the customs guys when they see one! Law is something that leads to interpretation - the guys at the customs will interpret it to suit their convenience!
> There could be damage to the scope when it comes mounted - especially when being handled in the cargo.
> The scope's alignment could go off - it may need re-alignment & sighting afresh.
> Avoid the hassels and get the scope seperately - you can always have it mounted here locally.
