Scope Nichols Japan 3x9x40 Variable Excellent ca. 1988

Here is a Japanese Nichols 3x9 variable, Wide Angle 40mm, predecessor to the Japanese Nikons and late Reagan Era. It is mounted atop a 1980s Japanese Howa, and is excellent throughout with minimal edge / case contact and no scouring whatsoever to the lens coatings. Its exclusive owner is an Ohioan-turned-Tennessean, a retired teamster. Replacement pricing on Japanese Nikons is upwards of $600 apiece nowadays. We're offering this Nichols, however, for only $ 189.95. Scopes: $3.50 first item, but only $5.00 flat rate shipping, no matter how many. That’s $5.00 PER ORDER, NOT $5.00 per scope.
