Offering a straight Leica 62mm spotter.
This one has the rare fully armored body with the excellent APO (HD) lenses.
This scope will include Leica's 20-60 zoom.
Body is 99.9%. Lenses are perfect, not a mark on them. Kit will include all caps, Leica manual, and scope-specific warranty card.

Two caveats, the rear 'rapid' focus knob is notchy, the front 'fine' knob works fine. And the zoom eyepiece has a tiny dust speck in it, Someone else may not see it, I did and will disclose.
These two issues can be addressed by Leica, they may service gratis due to the incredible condition of the optic (I honestly don't think it was ever used) but I can't guarantee that.
Or, just use as is (it works perfectly fine) and think about the dough you saved on alpha glass. Leica APO glass gives up nothing to the Swarovski 65 HD, I'd maintain the Leica's edge-to-edge is better.

Bargain priced at $985 shipped, about half the price of a pre-owned Swaro STS HD.

Got a weight on this thing? And is it 16-48x or 20-60x? That last pic seems to indicate the 62mm is 16-48?

The 62's are 16-48x with that eyepiece.

For what it's worth, the rear "rapid" focus is basically useless on these anyway. Mine is stiff and I've basically never used it. "Fine" focus is more than enough for hunting purposes.

Apologies, guys. 16-48x would be right for the 62mm. The 20-60 range is for the 77mm...

Even in fully armored configuration, the Leica is lighter than the STS HD swaro.....it's more compact too.

Yep, exactly right, I've never even used the 'coarse' focus on these scopes. "Fine" does the job perfectly..
