Great deal, but for the record, thats a STANDARD Wedge, not a Super-Wedge...
If you're in driving distance, go for it NOW... 
If you're not, and need to ship, as what the whole setup would cost to ship to your zip-code and decide based on that.
If you're interested, don't wait too long. This is a great price, and probably won't last.

I think, not sure, that this is a relisting from a few weeks ago. I believe I noticed when I started looking. Also, he takes credit cards....maybe a dealer of some sort? I see it has UTHC which I believe means it is the model before ACF? I emailed asking how old it is but havent gotten a response...

Yes, but if you read the description, it says "Wedge and Super Wedge". But either way it is a pretty good deal if you can look at it, and pick it up.
That scope is the SCT (not ACF) with the UHTC coatings.

Unfortunately I am no where near So. Cal. so it would have to be sight unseen and shipped. I couldn't use alot of that stuff immediately, just the scope. Would love to work my way into everything else though. Got that bad gut feeling on this for some reason. Guy has no rating either so it is a first sale.

If you want just the scope for now you can get a used LX90 for half that.
