I don't know how many and maybe its a fine scope. But when they came out my opinion was Unitron was going a direction that wouldn't work. Their long tube scopes were so elegant and the stubby just didn't seem to fit in. Reminds me of when Triumph motorcycles changed from their classic models to ones that emulated the Japanese competition. They soon went out of business.
Traditional Bill


Hi Bill, I like the traditional scope's too.You can't beat them for looks. So this is an edsel in the telescope world but I love it anyway as it's differant and still has unitron quality construction like all the older stuff. If you notice most modern bikes are going back too traditional styling as is cars (mustang/camaro/challenger). Maybe I lean towards the compacts as it was my first unitron, a 4" compact.I thought it was outstanding performer. Pictures will be coming on that one as I sold it too Mr Snyder in california about 5 years ago. He told me he was impressed with the optic's too. Thanks for input, John
