Located in Kandos near Mudgee. Have original packing box but I’m not really prepared to ship the scope at this stage. Prefer to sell to to Central Coast / Sydney buyer and meet halfway.

Note : The FSQ-106ED is optically identical to the later EDX models which have the CAA instead of the CW. The CAA can be retrofitted.
