Is it legal to ship a Kahles ZF-95 scope with Mil-dot reticle it out of the United States? It would be going to Austrailia. Thought that the US State department would have some info. but did not find anything. I know this may sound lame but I do not want to land myself in any trouble by being ignorant.

Well there are a few exception's on scopes that can be shipped out of the USA. We too don't want to get in trouble so we choose not to ship any optics out of the states ...period. You could give kahles a call...they could probably tell you for sure 1-800-426-3089. Edited by Chris |
