I recently purchased a very clean used FC-76. It's just an amazing little scope. I have owned an FS-78 and I really think that this FC is the better of the two. Has anyone done a side by side comparison of these two scopes?

I did not own them at the same time but found the difference more then subtle and surprising due to the fact they came from the same manufacturer
The problem with a lot of scopes is not with the equipment but with our eyes. My eyes were not thrilled with the FS-78 I owned but are absolutely delighted with the FC-76
I did read that the FC was done with the Fl lens as the secondary and was the original design where the the FS has the FL first and this was done to reduce the cost. How true this is and how this could make that much difference is beyond me. Maybe I just had a bad one.

I heard from some including Todd Gross that FC series is little better.
I had an FC76 and it was perfect. Great scope - you will enjoy very much.
Take care,
