    Viet Nam era USGI spotting scope.  Picture a 2-man team:  one with his sniper rifle, the other looking through the scope & calling the shots.  Not rare, should bring $300 if it has a bunch of accessories.

    Now you have done it!

    Keep looking.  You need the tripod mount (with carrying case) and the actual carrying case for the scope.  Good thing you saved money on the scope purchase.  You will need it for the rest of it.

    It took me awhile to find them for my scope.  The tripod with carrying case was the most difficult to locate.  I finally found one at the military show in Anawa, WI.
