Wts unertl 15x 2.5 inch

So I need to get ssdave paid off. 
This is a 2.5 inch Unertl 1 inch tube scope. 
The good. Medium fine crosshairs. Spring, caps, great adjustments. Scope is slightly plumb color in places. 
The bad. It will absolutely not focus below 70 yards. Crystal clear at 70 and a swimming pool at 50.
I still believe it is worth 625.00 shipped. I can text or email pictures. 
One final catch. You send the money to Dave in whatever Medium he wants. As soon as he acknowledges receipt I will ship the scope to the buyer. 
I am not very active on here but there is a lot of people who will vouch for me.

I should have said it will focus correctly at 70 yards and beyond

Officially, your Unertl 1" tube scope is considered a "2 inch"

Can you explain that to me I'm a bit confused as I alway go by tube diameter but also know John Unertl used different standards and terms for some of military scopes as I've read

Arnie is correct. It is actually a 2". Unertls are differentiated by the size of the objective lens. The smaller lens scopes have a 7/8 tube while the bigger ones have a 1" tube. Most of the military Unertls were 8x with 7/8 tubes and I believe 1 1/2 objective lens

As usual, there are exceptions I am sure, but that being said, 2 inch Unertl's have 1 inch tubes, 1 1/2 and 1 1/4 have 3/4 inch tubes, and the 1 1/4 varmint has a 7/8 inch tube. The small game scopes also have 3/4 inch tubes. The Ultra varmint scopes  have  1 inch tubes, 2 inch objective, and slightly enlarged eyepiece, and shorter overall length than the target 2 inch scopes, and only available in 10,12 and 15x.

So the confusion is that the 2 inch diameter objective lenses are mounted in 2 1/4 inch diameter bells.

I guess so, but Unertl always used the lens diameter. Possibly different very early on. I have a very early catalog, and he was using lens diameter then.
