Cool, but won’t work for what I was looking for.
The Velcro goes from “32mm-50mm” allegedly. Simple Velcro & I never thought of it. I wouldn’t pay the asking price knowing where to get Velcro cheaper but I still need actual 50mm caps as I picked up a great deal at flea market.
Old Japanese Bushnell 8 to 24x 50mm Binoculars for $10.00 w/ case & full neck strap. They had the eyepiece covers but not the 2 50mm fronts.
The tri-pod is a model E12 Quick-Set Elevator Junior. It’s not perfect for stargazing but attachments can be bought & it does make a good spotter platform for Dad. $7.00!
So this is same Flea Market I found the a Bushnell Scope Chief. Guy asking $25.00. I only had $20, he would have gone $15.00 but I wanted the dozen vintage York Port Orford Cedar complete arrows. My 45lb vintage Grizzly loves them but 6 are good, 2 have lighter field points & 4 need points. Maybe I should have grabbed the scope chief because I can’t find him but arrows buddy would have held.
Yeah as far as optics go you never know. I’m not into FFP high end scopes. I’m thrilled when I find old Japanese scopes, El Paso Weavers. Keep on hoping for a T-10 or even a Kaspa. There’s brand new T36’s under $400. But fixed 36x means one thing only, BR at 200 or further. I loved my Hawke Airmax AMX 4x12x40 but realized eyepiece has slight play. You need either 40+tpi or glass etched reticle so I’m looking for a 1x6, fixed 4,6,10,12, 3x9 or 4x12 with glass etched 2ndFP. I could justify $300 in a SWFA to $1200.00
I’ve seen some GREAT deals listed on forums but a scope bought privately is something I’d want to look through & judge if I’d like. I think It’s between a SWFA SS or higher end, a Bushnell, or etched glass Hawke AMX, possibly 10x or 20x 1/2 mil dot.
