I am not 100% sure what the difference is between the 500 and 503 model but I don;t think its much. Same horse different jockey I guess. I think the 500 model was what was released to the European Market and the 503 was the model released to USA. Regardless the 500 model sells new in the UK for about £650 to £700 and you have no guarantee to get 1 this good optically. What part of "BUY THE SCOPE" are you not getting  hehehe
If you don't hurry I am gonna buy it and I am serious

Thanks John, I have been hunting high and low for information on these scopes. it sounds good to me and I intend on purchasing the scope. I spoke with Nat today. i also pointed him to iceinspace as he had not heard of it. i hope we get another member. with just about every purchase I do I refer or ask if they have heard of iceinspace, have had a few people look at the site, and join I think.
Anyway, fear of the unknown is riding me at the moment as well. i am tossing up as to this scope and the one from Andrews Comms (8" MC for $1199) it is double the price, but 8" as opposed to 5". but quality and portability and usefullness, ruggedness and all the rest of the nesses
are coming into play. What does a guy do?
