Here's the story. My buddy is upgrading to an STC and I have a chance to buy his Kowa 554. To do that, I need to move my current spotter set up. I know there is a lot of Vortex hate out there, but I've been very happy with my 65mm Razor thus far. I just bought the 50mm used and haven't used it, but wanted that lightweight piece. It appears to be a very good weight to quality to cost option. Going to try to combine all this in one with the Kowa. Anyway, here is what's included in the set up:
- Vortex Gen 1 Razor 16-48x65mm Spotting Scope: This is in excellent condition with no marks. I have babied it. Includes cordura case (bottom zip missing), caps, and the box if I can find it. I will also throw in an Outdoorsman digiscope set up (needs new fuzzy tape to tighten hold on eyepiece) including a Speck case adjusted for an iPhone 12.
- Vortex 11-30x50mm Spotting Scope: As I said, I just bought this used and have only messed around with it in the house. It appears to be in good condition and includes the impossible to find Vortex neoprene cover. SOLD
- Sirui 5 section aluminum tripod: Model number and photo to come, but I have to find it.
Has seen some use, but no problems with it. - CH10 tripod head: This hasn't seen field use, but has survived freeze testing. My wife surprised me with a Tricer or I'd be keeping this.

They won’t be on the market indefinitely since the Kowa I’m trying to get won’t be off the market indefinitely.
