content: I bought this from Eurofox months ago for 600 euro I think. I just can't get on with it, my eyes are causing me lots of trouble these days.It's in great condition, 220 volts with some spare bulbs and the bench mount, plus the x2 and x4 objectives of course. It's not the Elite or the Compact, it's the older model.£350+VAT and shipping?SOLD

content: Hi TopLoser I could be interested. Which model is it, I'm not too well up on the different ones available. Are all Mantis models the same? Also whereabouts in the UK are you located? I'm in Berkshire.

content: Yeah, I guess so. I had to ask though because I also have a problem with my sight as my left eye is just about useless. If it was a binocular model then I wouldn't have been able to use it.

content: OK, thanks TopLoser. Having watched Dave's review video it is likely that I would be able to use this type of 'scope.
