F/S MVA Winchester type "B" 5X scope

I sent this scope back to MVA and they completely reconditioned it to like new, great business to work with.
This is a 5X magnification scope and there are two dots vertical and horizontally on all sides of the cross hairs.
Included is one of MVA's leather scope caps.
$550.00 plus insured shipping, USPS money orders only for funding, If the purchaser has a shipping company preference I will work with you.
First I will take it and it will be off to a new home.
If one of you has more questions please ask.

From what you say it sounds like they changed the reticle.

When they reconditioned the scope did they put in one of their changable reticles?

They replaced the existing reticule but I  am not the familiar enough with options they offer for changeable reticules, perhaps that is covered on their website?

Length is between 15 and 16" depending on how the focus and parallax are set.   

Blocks are available from Steve Earle (they're standard Lyman/Unertl)

The MVA site does have the reticle info on it, but it takes some digging to find:

See (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

Those are either 6 or 7 mil dot.  MVA says both numbers, depending on where you're at on their website.

To clarify, the MVA Model B scope does not use the Unertl/Lyman standard (crescent) or POSA notches.  The Model B requires blocks with the Winchester-type dimple hole one one side.  MVA offers these as does Steve Earle.

Steve Earle's standard blocks have the Winchester dimple on the side opposite the Unertl/Lyman crescent.

but if you're using older 'standard' blocks best to check that other side.  Lots of them weren't so accomodating Smiley

Gentlemen my thanks to those of you that helped answer the posed questions. 
I was out of town for several days without access to this site.
