There is an 8x60S on gunsinternational for $3500

Seems a bit stiff to me. Here in Germany half that amount would be very good for the seller. Granted, mine was a real bargain. Found it in 2002 on a used gun rack at the Hanover Riding and Hunting Show. Was in a sorry state: muzzle damaged, butt shortened, nearly no stock finish left, lots of dirt and gunk. Certainly no collector's item, but couldn't resist the offer. Set me back Euro 150.-, about US$ 200.-. Shortened and recrowned the barrel slightly, lengthened and refinished the stock, mounted a used 1960s 4x Hensoldt DIATAL scope (about $ 80.- used), a P-H peep sight and scope Mount parts from my "junkbox". But you don't argue with success: Up until now it got me about 70 unlucky creatures, roe deer, wild boars, red deer, foxes.
