Rifle Scopes M-49 Spotter For Sale

I spotted this (groan!) on another forum and thought it might be of interest to somebody here.

M49 Spotting Scope For Sale

Apparently its unissued and complete in fibreglass carry case.

Asking price is $850 which seems steep to me, but I suppose if your building a period correct M40 and want the correct spotter....

LOL, that was my gut feeling, but the guy probably thinks its a "collectors item"

Not sure what they are like from a practical point of view as I've heard optically, they are average at best...

For that price you can get a good Kowa with an LER eyepiece and have a great spotter, the M49 is not even close by any stretch. I have an M49 but I use an old beat up Steiner field telescope at the range while the M49 is for gathering dust in the closet, I want a Kowa.
