This is probably a long-shot but I am interested in any of the many APO doublet refractors made by Vixen.

I am not fixed on any particular size (eg 80, 100 etc) - only that it is one of their APO models (ie not an Achro).

As this is purely for visual astronomy I am also not that particular on the condition provided the optics are still good.

If you have a Vixen refractor you might consider selling please send me a PM

Thanks

Just to clarify - I am interested in any doublet APO that Vixen may have made. While they made many fine achros over the years I am after one of their APOS only - however I am not set on any particular model as I am primarily after a visual scope

In response to one suggestion - I want to clarify that I am simply after a good quality APO doublet for some visual astronomy. I have always had a soft spot for Vixen refractors and hence my suggestion however I am certainly not excluding or meaning to disparage other brands if someone has something else

Thank you Morton!!!

That would be fantastic but I suspect this is another CONUS sale only
