WTS: Kowa 77mm spotting scope

Up for sale is a new in box Kowa TSN-773 angled spotting scope with the TE-11WZ Prominar 25-60x eyepiece. This is the newest eyepiece Kowa offers and is the wide-angle version. I bought this in Sept last year thinking I knew exactly what I wanted for optics. Researched a ton on this unit, but after several months of thinking about it since then, I’m going to go with a smaller scope, if I go with one at all. Maybe the new TSN-553 will catch my eye.

So, I only had this scope out of the house one time to sight in a rifle. Otherwise it’s been in the safe the entire time. Not a mark anywhere and have all the original packaging and receipt of purchase. Not sure about warranty transferring, but my guess is it won’t be a problem. Purchased in the USA from an authorized dealer. I happened upon a smoking deal on this so I’m going to just pass it along.

Price for body and eyepiece: $1,845 delivered and insured to your house in the lower 48. Would need to either be PayPal as F/F or add the 3%, or USPS money order.

I’ll get photos up later tonight, but I did put some pictures up in another thread if you’d like to look now.

I’m located in the DFW area, so feel free to come have a look through, or someone you know and trust.

ETA:

So I was just responding to another thread about someone looking for a spotter/tripod setup and it got me to thinking.

When I bought the Kowa I knew I needed a better tripod setup for weight support so I sprung for an Outdoorsmans compact medium and full size pan head, along with the adapter plate to attach it. I really just realized I don't need a tripod this nice if I end up with a Kowa 553 due to the lighter weight.

So I'm going to add an option to this ad if anyone (Mr. JigStick) is interested in a top-shelf setup.

Best retail pricing on everything:
Tripod: 479
Panhead: 329
Adapter: 16

Kowa 773: 1500
Eyepiece: 579
Total: $2,903

Buy it all from me...as new for: $2,450 Delivered

Body: 1330g / 46.9 ounces / 2.93 lbs

Eyepiece: 370g / 13 ounces

No worries at all. Good luck finding what you want. However, keep in mind that the TE-11WZ eyepiece is only compatible with the 77 and 88mm scopes, so if you go to the 663 you'll giving something up there. But you're right, the 66 is about 10oz lighter than the 77, but for perspective the 77 is only 2oz heavier than the Swaro ATX 65 and at a way lower price.

If this will convince someone to jump off the fence I'd be willing to drop the price to $1,815, which isn't a ton but I hope this was already considered a good price. Don't know if i'll lower it any more than this cause I can still find uses for it.

Tim, I think you're right about the coatings but didn't go searching.
