Nikon Fieldscope ED III 60 and Nikon ED-50 combo package. Includes everything pictured which is the MC2 eyepiece, MCI eyepiece, and both the 60mm and 50mm bodies.

I purchased the 60 off of Japanese eBay and it is as mint as one could hope for. Incredible condition with no scratches visible anywhere. Includes carrying case.

The 50 I purchased from another member here. He was worried about the scope body separation so he did a bit of an epoxy and nail polish joinery job. It seems to be working well and there is no looseness or any indication of separation. There is a piece of factory glue loose inside the scope but it does not affect the glass or function in any way, at all.

Both are fully functional and all glass is in excellent condition.

$1000 shipped takes the whole package. Some trades considered.

Have you ever compared it to the previous generation Razor HD 65mm spotter? I really liked the 82ED I had.
No sir ive never used a Razor at all.

These 60mm EDIII are pretty incredible glass. Just ready to move into a compact Kowa for my backpack hunting.

Still kicking the EDIII around some. Ignorant question, is the MC2 the 20-60 zoom? Reckon there'd be any problem with eyeglasses? Thanks.

Hey JG. Yes it’s the 20-60. I am an everyday glasses wearer and it’s just fine with the eyecup screwed down fully. I’m really happy with it, but the new Kowa 55 is calling my name.

Thanks, and I understand. I'm not as hardcore as I used to be, being I'm 64 now. Gave my son my Meopta S2, but a 65 will do what I need to do hunting whitetails and desert muleys. As mentioned before I really liked the 82ED I had, and it was right there with my buddy's Zeiss 85T FL. I'm betting this 65 will run with the swaro 65 but not sure.

I had a non-HD STS 65 Swaro and I would call these comparable, but the HD swaro is better for sure. And it should be for an extra $1300…
