I purchased this at the end of last year from a friend as he was moving it on. Already have scopes in this range but the F9.3 has my mouth watering just a tad.

Scope is in great nick but obviously has some sinks and scratches but not to the lenses which are in great shape. As for the focus, Moonlite is one of the best on the market and this one is no exception.

Open to sensible offers
