Had this under optics, a friend has given up smallbore and has the scope listed above in very good condition. Whats a fair offer? It is scope and lens only, no tripod. I have to make offer soon your feedback is appreciated.

There was one in Ebay that sold for $675 and if you consider the seller paid Ebay/PayPal almost 15% fees to sell it. I would say $600 is a fair offer for the scope, see if he will sell it to you for less first. That scope sold new for over $1000
ebay item number 321050667114

Agree 600 is a pretty fair price face to face sale no commison or shipping cost. I just put a vintage spotter up for sale through a local Ebay seller and he's charging me 33 1/3 % 600 nets 400

Over 600 probably better to spend more and get one of the newer larger Kowa's

There is one over on rim fire central for $400.

I bought a TSN-4 off eBay for $600 shipped. This is the fluorite lens model. It didn't have the more desirable 25 LER eyepeice and there was some condition issues.

Used Kowas are as scarce as hens teeth for good reason. Snatch up what you can find and be happy!

I have one just like the listed scope on rimfirecentral. That is a really good buy. I am very pleased with mine.
