Turns out to be a small world after all. Yes this item (which I originally found on ebay) was being sold in a salvage/antique shop in the Adelaide CBD. They originally wanted $295 but I got my offer through at $150. Hey some people might think I am crazy for even spending that amount on this item, but the coffee table idea of the bloke selling it still gives me nightmares

I think you are right,it would have been a tight squeeze in the overhead luggage. I am interested to hear what you may have been looking to do with the scope and mount, please feel free to share your thoughts. Hopefully I don't destroy your ideas too much with what I am aiming to do!
Stay tuned and Clear Skies
Gav
