Vixen 60S Scope/Tripod Set + 22XW Eyepiece Japanese Craftsmanship At Its Best

Straight spotting scope and matching tripod, entirely nihon sei (made in Japan). Estimated date of manufacture circa early 1990s; beautiful perfect match of matte tan/green finish on both items.

Great spotting setup for field or shooting range. The tripod is very cool (perhaps only the Japanese would craft a simple tripod with such style and attention to materials and detail). In addition to loosening & tightening the large round knob for fast, full-range altitude adjustment, you can perform. Fine altitude adjustment (10 degrees up/down) without the need to unlock large knob simply by turning the. Smaller, downward-facing knob at the bottom of the tripod head.

Scope specs: length, about 11.5 inches; weight, 1.19 kg; 60 mm/420 mm (F/7). Wide-angle eyepiece (22X on 60 mm scope, 18X on 50 mm scope); beveled volcano-top design provides good eye relief (17-20mm). Tripod specs: height to mounting platform adjustable from 24-31 cm; spread, 33.5 cm; weight, 880 g. Compatible with Vixen Camera Adapter S for digiscoping with DSLR; see separate NRO listing. Original front and rear caps.

Original Styrofoam packing for tripod. Even in Japan, this scope/tripod set is extremely rare - a collector's item. Thanks for visiting Nippon Rare Optics!
