LOL!

How can you have a scope that big sitting in your living room and know nothing about it?

Of course, he must be selling it for someone else.

It must be a 10", not a 12. Though that'd be nifty, too.

Agree about the caution with Craigslist ads.

I often find scam ads pushing high end scopes on Craigslist.

Looks like a 10" Cave, and in super shape. I would jump all over it if it local! Another Newt pointed toward the floor.

[Re: Mr Magoo]
#3052901 - 04/19/09 03:47 PM

C14 Bloomington, IN CL Is this a good price for this? Way out of my budget, but seemed like it might be a good price for this scope.

Thats the C14 that keeps on going and going. I think it's that same scam ad that goes from state to state on CL.
