I found a Vixen scope, about a 5 hours drive away, but the seller says there are no labels on it.

 

Could one of you fine folks possibly ID this as a good/bad/average scope? Worth pursuing? Asking is $100.

Thank you.

No. Stay away from it, it's modern Chinese junk. 

 

 

Clear skies!

Thanks Thomas,

 

Well, I found another one, same town 5 hours away, $75, sure looks like a Vixen label. Icarus D6-M. 

 

Maybe this one is a better choice.

 

Cheers
