This is a really nice finder, a pretty little scope in its own right. The optics are clean and unblemished--images are bright and clear; it has a proper 1.25" prism diagonal yielding a correct image, retained by a hex screw (I'll supply a key--not in the photo); the reticle eyepiece includes a smooth helical focuser. This is a cut above what you get with the Chinese dobs. The included rings came off a 10" OD tube, but as you see attach well to a flat surface also.
Only issues: the previous owner wrapped the scope with electrical tape where the rings are to prevent marring--seemed like a good idea so I left it there. Also, the objective cap is a little roughed up--see the picture!
I would prefer to keep this, but I'm in the midst of a fundraising campaign for my current atm project.
New from Meridian with the rings this would be $97 plus shipping. I'm asking $65 shipped (US only, sorry).
