Thread: Anyone brought a Nightforce scope back from USA in luggage?

i went to the states about a year ago and bought back a zeiss scope, range finders, dies, binos etc etc. i came via australia so i declared everything i had and the aussie customs wanted to take the scope from me because it was classes as a firearm part and give it back on my departure, which i managed to avoid. once i got to nz we declared our things as usual then was charged tax on all our bits over $700(i think?). but apart from the extra cost there was no issues.
