After further thought, this has got to be a spammer. Pisses me off when they get this devious hoping that someone will see the ad and buy one.

Be happy if he comes back on and proves me wrong, but bet that he won't.

Recently I have seen similar posts on other sites asking if some item was authentic Bushnell (same phrase), and then providing a link. I did not notice if the linked site was the same but I would bet that this is related.

Clever spam.
