This is a Bausch & Lomb Balvar 8A 2.5-8 rifle scope. This scope has no internal adjustments; the adjustments are made in the mounts. In this system, the scope is held against the bases by spring tension. This was designed so that the scope could take a hard blow, or be removed, and still return to zero.
This scope has a very good to excellent finish. There is very minor wear around eyepiece lens (in the metal, not on the lens) and two small marks from contacting the mount.
The glass is clear, no fogging, but there are minor scratches visible on the surface of the lenses (not visible when looking through the scope). The scope has a tapered crosshair.
