I’ve never thought to buy a high end scope from midway. Just not my go to dealer. But... I wish i would’ve seen these two before buying my SB. Stumbled on these looking for 34mm rings on sale.
Thought I’d share incase anyone needs one that’s been looking. These always seem to be priced for a bit more in the px used. These are demos and there’s only one for each model. Get em guys and gals. I would!

note: I have no affiliation with Larry potter field or whatever his name is or midway for that matter. Just sharing for fellow hidemembers.


 
Just to piggyback - I've almost bought demo/refurb Kahles several times. I had a good talk with one of the Techs at Kahles. They told me that none of the scopes are actually refurbished in terms of being taken apart and/or fixed. I was told that Demo A is almost always from a rep that never mounted the scope - so basically brand new, but they can't actually sell it as a new product. The Demo B are typically form Reps that mount the scopes and use them in matches or at shows. The Demo B's might have some small scratches or ringmarks or something.

To be fair, they could've been selling me snakeoil, but I'd have not problem picking up a demo and saving $800.

That is correct.
A Demos are same as new

B Demos can have cosmetic issues and slight optic surface mark but nothing that has any effect

C Demos stay away from. They've been used, abused and put away wet lol
