Good advice there RJW. If he's reducing the price TO you because of it, then get it. If he's reducing the price FROM you, then avoid him like the plague. The grat and crosswire are on the same focal plane but sometimes, they might not be because one is slightly ahead or behind the other. It only takes a thou or so for one to look out of focus but so long as it's the grat post that's in focus, that's all that really matters........
