THE GOOD:
A damn good premium spotter from one of the big three. Read about the scope here : https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/597834-USA/Zeiss_1527_106_Diascope_85_T_FL.html/overview

It does come with a camera adapter which will turn this system into essentially a telephoto. The glass is still very clear without scratches. The image quality is what one would expect from top tier glass.

THE BAD:
There appears to be some small black flecks on one of the internal lenses. These flecks in no way inhibit the resolution of the optic. They are only noticeable when viewing a blank background.

THE UGLY:
This scope is not a safe queen. The outer armor shows signs of wear because it was put to good use. Adds character. Does not inhibit the functionality at all.

This is a fantastic optic. Perfect for the guy looking to purchase his first spotter, wants fantastic glass but really cant justify spending 3K on a spotter. Yes this scope has some miles, and the price reflects that.

Asking $1,100 TYD. will entertain all reasonable offers.

Deal at your own risk. I sent him an offer yesterday. He accepted my offer at 825 AM today, as can be seen in my rockslide email posted below. I was ready to send the funds and then as I hadn’t read his pm yet he changed the message to back out and go with a better deal. Guess he forgot about email notifications.

I guess his integrity isn’t worth $50 so deal with at your own peril.

I'm the guy that ended up picking up the spotter. I thought It was just too good of a deal to pass on. I was unaware of any other deals going on. Simply thought it was too good of a deal to pass on, asked if it was available at 7:25 am, was told yes, and bought it.. simple as that.

I can say that I have no complaints with Cactus Kid. He was very quick and responsive & professional to my messages. I cant speak for any other deals & offers going on outside of my own and I don't know all the timing and details around any of that.. But I can say he been straight forward and easy to work with.

I just wanted to post because I don't think it's fair to make a post warning people to watch out for someone (inferring that person is ripping people off) when the guy is actually a good dude, who just sold a good spotter at a hell of a price.. Save that kind of post for people who are actually out there running scams. As for his integrity to undercut someone to make an extra $50, my understanding is that I bought the scope for $50 less than what your offer was, so that story doesn't hold much water.

Not so simple. As he states he backed out of our deal to take your offer because your pm came first. U state u sent yours this am that 725, I sent my offer last night at 1047.

No biggy but mine was first and he agreed to accept it, then backed out.
