Original owner, bought new from Ross Outdoors in Phoenix at the beginning of 2012. Includes box, manual, case, tripod adaptor, case strap, neck strap, lens covers, blank registration card, and Outdoorsman’s stud. These are registered in my name but will provide a signed bill of sale so you may re-register with Swarovski if you wish. Binos are in overall excellent condition, lenses are perfect except for a small dent on inside edge of left eyepiece at about the 8:00 position. It is cosmetic and does not affect image quality or functionality. The image is sharp and clear, and easy on the eyes. The only reason I am selling is because I have switched to a used set of 15x56 HD to obtain a little longer eye relief, due to my thick glasses. $1200. Will ship on buyer’s dime, or FTF in Vail, Safford, Douglas or Sierra Vista. Not interested in trades at this time. Call or text with any questions, seven 0 two 37 eight 99 zero 7.

I have this exact model (angled eyepiece), and would be willing to part with it for a more than fair price, but not located in greater Phx. If you don't find something get in touch.

Too bad. Used to be a nice place to shoot. Same for the Rio Salado range.

The savings is there but not huge. With the two vehicles I bought, I was able to save approximately enough to cover plane fare, meals, hotels, plus, as chefb mentions, you get the added benefit of a great engine break in. With today's fuel costs, however, it may be a toss-up.

Well . . . as my grade school teachers used to say, let your conscience be your guide. Also, make sure you are on solid legal footing, as you can be prosecuted for tax fraud, which is more serious apparently, than just tax avoidance. Many folks are wise to this, and have the toll free numbers and websites for reporting tax cheats. Had a friend who was a Tucson PD sergeant, super nice guy, went way out of his way to buy a new tricked-out Ford pickup in Wisconsin, then kept the Wisconsin plates while living in Tucson. He was always sweating how to back in to parking places so no one would see the out of state plate. The heartburn may not be worth it. Not to mention neighbor resentment for not paying your fair share. But if you are a rich Paradise Valley snowbird/attorney, or have friends who happen to be tax attorneys, then maybe that is what you should consider.

Spin is on the right track I would say. Total shame and probably preventable. Those assets will be irreplaceable. And what they do rebuild will be at great cost. This sounds like some of the same mindset that set a prescribed burn at Bandelier National Monument, which soon burned the town of Los Alamos. Stay tuned for congressional hearing on C-SPAN.

Multiple articles now. Also, it was the N. Rim wastewater plant, not water treatment plant. Don't believe there's a WTP there. I know there will be lots of second-guessing, but it sure hit me as world-class stupidity to try to manage the initial fire as a controlled burn. WHAT? With record high nighttime temps. low humidity, high winds, in the middle of July? If it jumps over the rim and makes a run down the Transcept to Roaring Springs it will be historically ugly. It could go all the way to the river.

Check pricing with Dave Smith Motors, Kellogg, ID. Fly in to Spokane, and their shuttle will pick you up and take you to the dealership, about 40 min. away. Conduct the transaction, then enjoy the beautiful scenery on the way back to AZ - either through Missoula, or through Lewiston. If you go through Lewiston, the Jack O'Connor Hunting Heritage and Education Center is a must-see for anyone who is remotely interested in hunting, fine guns, world-class taxidermy, and some of the memorabilia of the Dean of Outdoor Writers. Last but not least, you can stop at the casinos on the way home (Jackpot, Wells, Ely, Las Vegas).

Good point. Opportunity closed with the draw.

The longer it goes without updating, the more chance they will sell a few more point guards.

PM sent.

Pretty nice. What scope is that.

Lots of good suggestions. One that has not been mentioned are the 3M Peltor EEP-100's. Affordable, rechargeable. Have had best luck with Skull Screw ear tips - an extra item but many have found these better than the included ear tips.
