It's less than a year old. I probably shouldnt have painted it. I have a pretty bad astigmatism and the high mag variable scopes give my eyes cramps and headaches. I would trade for a 5-25 Atacr. $2000 without the Spuhr, $2300 with it. Will come with unpainted sunshade. Was only painted to about an inch from the ends. Would possibly trade for lower power Nightforce also.
