Rifle Scopes in carry on

I will be moving down south and thinking of taking multiple rifle scopes in my carry on. Scopes are explicitly permitted by the TSA. However, I am wondering if anyone flew with a good number (4-6) of scopes at once? How did TSA take it?
Also, if someone flew that way, did you keep the mount on? I am thinking of taking my mount off, as the website says "scope only".

TSA allows ammo with gun if packed correctly. American airlines said they don't care, not allowed. Had to dump the ammo.

The airline is free to make any requirements it likes. Kinda sucks when you end up in your situation. And an FYI, there's usually a US Post Office in most major airports. Some last minute shipping might save the day.

Just flew to Washington state with a scope in my carry on. Didn't mention it to them and they didn't say anything. I also had a lighter in the front pocket and a carabiner with a folding knife in the handle attached to the bag.
TSA is fucking retarded.
I've also flown with a full metal MP5 airsoft gun wrapped in a sweater in my luggage for my godson.
Again.
TSA is retarded.
I've noticed it just depends on the day and the crew. Some don't give a shit, and some are Nazis

Did your scope have mount/rings on it?
No question that TSA is nothing more than theater.

American airlines are the biggest assholes on the planet. I stopped flying with those assholes years ago. I will crawl on my face before I fly aa again.
Did I mention they are assholes? Why are they assholes you ask? Because they treat their customers like shit. Assholes.
