[QUOTE="brucon, post: 1339543, member: 97830"] HI THEIS Thank you for the Heads-Up! Given what I read from the documents listed above, a Nightforce,Leopold or Vortex riflescope cannot be regulated under these laws as they were manufactured for civilian use and not for military application (albeit milspec) specific to any items listed on the ITAR document, as you yourself mentioned. Do you believe it is still illegal, then? I never asked for a Military used optic, my two examples I used were NF ATACR and Vortex Razor HD. I can buy these scopes right of the shelf in SA but they cost similar to a surgeons' monthly salary. The costs on top of what you guys pay for them in the USA usually amount to 36- 40% for a local dealer to land them here and then they have to put up a mark up as well. My concern would be the declaration of what you bring in (you must take back out), but then I do not understand how it is commonplace in SA for PH's to be paid 'tips' by means of riflescopes, binocs, etc. especially by US hunters? In any case I appreciate everyone's response and input. Happy Hunting [/QUOTE]
