You shouldn't have any issues buying one in Europe or Australia and bringing it back to the US other than possible customs fees and *maybe* S&B USA giving you some flak if you ever had to send it in for service... The European models have a different warranty because of some EU specific warranty laws, and not sure how they would handle that along with the issue of having a US patent infringing scope in their US service center.
Not sure if they can still ship S&B here because of dealer agreements, but possibly Optics Trade could get you one... Years ago they always had better prices than US dealers on S&B, but typically with a longer wait time.

Forgot to mention there should not be any potential ITAR snags in your scheme provided you bring it in from a friendly country on the ITAR list. I've shipped several day scopes to Australia for a member here and after consulting with our import/export compliance and ITAR guy here at work we determined they were exempt and noted that in the customs declaration with the USPS. They all made it there in 3-4 days and neither of us got a visit from the suits, lol
I am very well aware of the patent. I assume you meant to reply to someone else, like nick338.
Arken EP5 7- 35 .. Standing in for some Alpha Glass
Today at work a coworker told me about this new scope company called Arken. He said “on sale for $399. They are so awesome and are every bit as good as the expensive scopes.” I said “I don’t believe that.” Then he told me he saw the YouTuber say so in a video. And the YouTuber also had a...

The issue with the Arken's was not that their glass sucked. At least with the one I tested... it was that they had no coating on any of the lenses, which leads to anything but perfect lighting conditions causing glare, etc., that made with scope difficult to use in a number of conditions.
Dont get me wrong, they are cheap as hell... and could probably be used for hunting, etc. Just not great options of PRS stuff, etc.
Especially since you can get a Zeiss S3 for $1500, and it's comparable to the Schmidt. (Turrets aside, as the Schmidt turrets are hard to beat.)
