I bought one used and one NIB and like them both. Again the high# sellars with good feedback are pretty good with products.I like using Paypal to cover the $ side of it. Now I wouldnt buy some off name scope you've never heard of butwith any name brand your fine. Most of the top scope manu's havea lifetime warranty anyway and you dont have to be the 1st owner to get it fixed, so if something breaks down the road you can usually just let the manufactorer handle it.
