At only 6"x9"x12" (trust me), eminently portable -- though at 2500lb hardly transportable. Depleted uranium?

Drat! I wish I would have seen this scope before I bought my FS 102! Looks like the FS 102 is going back.

Unforunately the shipping for that beast costs more than an FS102 on an Em-10 mount sad

They used to say in the blurb that this scope was ideal for the vacation villa. Now why would they have dropped that useful piece of information smile ?
