you guessed it .Now that we're veeery slowly starting to wind up our boriya bistar, i'm going into the one-trip-one-gun mode. And of course you're welcome to shoot it buddy, when i turn up in November!mundaire";p="22039 wrote: Seems like you are planning on getting back the AA ProSport to Delhi?
I just love telling people, "I told you so" and "serves you right for not heeding my advice". We had discussed this in the very early stages but I think you forgot about it. Yes, I had brought back a scope as hand-baggage but that was in 1995 but did caution you against doing so now.At Heathrow the suitcase was checked in without any hassle and then I went in for security check. After waiting for 40 minutes (in queue) my turn comes up AND all hell breaks loose! The security personnel very politely ask me if that is indeed my handbag, upon being told yes - I'm asked if I have packed it myself, has anyone else had access to it after I packed it etc. etc. Then I am asked what it contains - and I tell them - a laptop computer, a telescope, a pair of binocs etc. And I ask if there is any problem? Well apparently it turns out that they are OK with binocs and "Normal" telescopes BUT a "rifle scope" is a NO GO! So I rush back to the airline counter, buy some locks from the excess luggage counter (a complete rip off joint if you ask me ) and end up checking in the bag (after I have bubble wrapped it all as much as possible). The next 7-8 hours are spent imagining baggage handlers throwing about the bag and wincing at the thought each time! BOTTOM LINE - DO NOT ATTEMPT to carry back a rifle scope as hand baggage, just pack it well and check it in with the other baggage.
Don't forget to tell them about the booze!4) Arrive at Delhi - since the gun is second hand and my total baggage (value) limit is within the permissible duty free allowance for Indians returning from overseas I walk through the green channel
Add a spanking new AA S400 to the list as well. No, it's not mine so no need to turn a belious shade of green. It belongs to a friend of mine in Bangalore who imported it from B.A.R.. I think he is a member here but I haven't seen him post as yet.well done abhijeet!! and may i say welcome to the small (but increasing, by the looks of it) AA family!
