This is a RedCat 51 is in excellent, practically new condition, with clean optics and and body - there isn't a mark anywhere on this scope. This includes the adapter to attach your Canon camera to the scope. However, it does not include the red metal cover for the back of the scope. Instead, there is a black plastic Canon cover that fits into the space. We have taken this missing piece into consideration in the pricing.
Otherwise, the scope comes complete, and includes the RedCat handlebar in its original soft-sided foam-lined case. We can ship this to you.
