Longshaor and Tower06, U.S. export law doesn't enter into it at all if you're stateside unless you sell the scope to someone overseas and want to ship it to them. Importation to the USAicon from overseas is no problem except that many nations now require an export license in order to ship them which requires an import license from here to get approved! It's an endless boondoggle. Just think of all the crime we're stopping!
