Schmidt & Bender 3-12x50 PM II Scope for HK417
A Schmidt & Bender 3-12x50 PM II scope, a military-grade variable magnification optic with parallax adjustment, imported already affixed to an HK417 battle rifle. Because the scope is mounted on a firearm at the time of importation, it is classified as part of the gun under tariff item 9301.90.10, rather than as an optical device of Chapter 90.
