I just upsed my scope..
we shall see.
ota box weighed in a wooping 105 lb's
it is sitting in oem grey foam..hard case, oem cardboard box. then I cut down a frig cardboard box.. short of falling off a truck it should be ok..

tripod and accessories went into a triple box with some padding..

my wallet barked at me and ran out the door when i got the bill though...160 bucks.

Was that 105lbs actual weight, or dimensional weight. Its hard to imagine the former...the scope & mount are (supposed to) weigh 62lbs, the styrofoam + outside box weigh 43lbs Ouch.
Oem grey foam? I thought (correct me if I'm wrong) the oem foam was white.
$160's not bad, but what distance are you shipping it? By air or by ground? They gave me a ball park figure of $135 by ground in 5 days. Personally I don't care about the cost so much as I do the packing, handling & insurance. My other option from that wee little town was a moving company & they wouldn't pick up less than 500lbs...and charge me a minimum of $800!
