I don't know how to do a poll, so I'll just present the case and ask a question or two. I have access to high end used optics like Swarovski, Kahles, Schmidt-Bender, and Zeiss. Most are 10-30 years old, but have excellent glass. I have upgraded most of my rifles and sold off the other scopes I had.

Some would be factory refurbished, some would have minor handling or ring marks, but all would have the factory warranty intact. Many would have the German style hunting reticles, not the more modern "tree" style reticles. Offerings would primarily be 30mm, but some 1" might be available on request. Pricing would be significantly less than current new stock, in some cases half or less.

How many of you would be willing to buy used scopes in these brands?

Would you be interested in quality lower priced brands used as well? Asking this question primarily for people who might want to trade in their current scope.

Why or why not?

What price range and/or features would interest you most?

Thanks in advance for your time.
