Scope ID please? (1 Viewer)

Timedrifter said:

Can someone ID the model of this Nikon scope please? It is a 60mm interchangeable eyepiece model, with heavy black rubber armouring and an attached objective cover (cut off on this one). Images taken through it show horrendous purple fringing so it's clearly not one of their top models. Any help or details appreciated.

Hello Timedrifter,

the Scope you have is the original Nikon Spotting Scope RA,i believe that the two eyepieces available when this model was first available was a 20x and a zoom,i understand that the eyepieces for the later Nikon Spotting Scope RAII also fit your Scope so you could also use the current 25x e/p.Having read some old reviews of this Scope it seems that it was one if the best models available in its price bracket so it should perform well although it is a fair bit heavier than most other 60mm models,i hope this is helpful,
