seem like ok scopes but the only ones I have seen are in line scopes and that leads to a soar neck or back. they may have a binocular set that is adjustable but I have not seen them. I never tried engraving with one only seen them in the lab I work in.

So how is the quality of the ones you've used. Im hoping to go and see it locally to check it for myself as its a crazy low price.

went to a different computer, see the pics now. same scope i have used. it is in line like i said. when u go look at it, try to set it up like you would be engraving and see if it is comfortable. i couldn't get it into a comfortable position for engraving. good luck hope it works out but make sure u are comfortable.

to show you what I am talking about I attached a pic of a Zeiss scope with a 45 degree angle to the binocular so your head is in a comfortable position to look through the eye pieces and still be able to have the objective lens pointed strait down.
