Maybe I got lucky, but I took two scopes NIB to my PH in my baggage and I carried on my Binos and range finder. Had the binos and range finder both of which were on my 4457 and no one ask about them either way. They were only interested in my rifle serial number that it was the same one. What a goat rope going through all the customs and ag stuff there in Atlanta. Biggest issue was how long the lines took. Quicker and easier to get things through in Jo'berg.
