AndyMac Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Me neither James. And I can't find any reference to 'Bosma' on my favourite review site, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 24, 2005 Author Share Posted September 24, 2005 Its a Russian jobby... TS of Germany sell them and they seem to have genuine Russian grade optics. Should a nice be steal if it stays a low price.Though all should know here!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OXO Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Those Russian Scopes do look the Biz Rob i think it's there cheap prices that put people off?James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 24, 2005 Author Share Posted September 24, 2005 Indeed... I did have a rather long chat with the chappy over in Germany before buying the 127 Mak... I seem to think the name lets it down, this stuff originally came off Russian military equipment!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OXO Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 this stuff originally came off Russian military equipment!! Does this mean you dont need a torch to use it?

OXO Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Thanks Rob, prob still got russ's finger prints on it ..http://www.globalsources.com/si/6008815497295/bosmagz.co some Bosma info..JAMES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OXO Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Ah yes i know Bosma now they do a zoom Microscope that i have had a play with in the past i remember it being very good so if the scope is the same someone will have a nice setup there!cool!James :sunny: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazOC Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Teleskop Service in Germany stock the Bosma Mak, so I'd guess they must be at least fairly good. They rarely stock rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Looks a real nice one Rob.....well spotted. If i had any cash I would be getting a twitchy mouse finger now. I wonder what the reserve is? Not tempted yourself Rob. Sell the 6" Newt, 5" Mak and the EQ3. The Bosma scope takes all SCT accessories. And that beefed up EQ5 would be a nice upgrade over the EQ3. You should easily get £350 for your bits. I bet the reserve is not that high.Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 25, 2005 Author Share Posted September 25, 2005 I was indeed tempted, however I value my life.... wifey would get a little upset if I bashed the credit card!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyMac Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Sounds to me like it wouldn't only be the credit card getting bashed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 It's just too tempting Andy. And to be truthful, buying and selling the kit is the best part of the hobby. :) :) Fills in the long gaps between clear nights. :? :? :? :? :?Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OXO Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I think if we had andy's scope there maybe be a pause on the buying front?James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyMac Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Got to disagree with you there matey. I think using the kit is the best part of the hobby. Had the same scope for 14 years & wouldn't part with it for anything (grown too attached to it).However, as I've said here before there's always two sides to every coin (opinion wise)..........mine and the wrong one! (Just kidding). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
