It is not unsual to see used scopes announced asking the same (or near) price than new.I have received recomendations asuring that trying the scope is a must. That would ruin my plans of buying it from ebay.Do you find it absolutely necesary or at least very important to test before buying?Cheers <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
