Very Nice !!!

The Russian Scopes just look classy. I rate the Russian Maks in a different League to their Asian counterparts, although some of them are decent optically. One of my all time favourite scopes was an Intes MN-61 (6"/F6 Mak Newt)

Pretty sure that the Intes Micro M615 has a built in cooling fan which is nice on a Compound Scope.
