I was looking for it and couldn't find any actual information on it. Except that most of my European scopes adjust (by the knobs) at 1/10th of a mil per click. Given that they are metric and one 'mil' is one tenth of meter @ 100 m, they naturally tend to divide that up instead of thinking of how we Americans have broken down our scopes over the years.
Because the breakdown coincides with American (shooters) moa it is about like this:
Either 1/10th of a mil or .36" per 100 yds. Remember 100m is 10% more than 100 yds. so it would be about .39" @ 100m.
As you run a box test, I'm thinking that is what you will find.
As to value these are too far and few between to give some kind of standing estimate. In the last thread Gary Wray gave an uninflated true value of what his purchase price was. And it was not even as good as yours. So, along that line, I'm thinking if he paid almost $500 ten years ago, new. And, the scope you are looking at is for all intents and purposes 'new' (as in never having being mounted) It might stand to reason a fair value to be between $600 and $700. If you offered $500 and your friend accepted, I wouldn't think you to be taking advantage of him as you nor he have much of an idea about the overall value of this scope. Suffice it to say, sometimes we make purchases we think are great then have to deal with the consequences of the item not fitting our needs.
I'd offer $500 and if your friend raises you to $650 I would take it up to that point. Not beyond. The biggest reason is you have no idea who could service this scope if you did break it somehow.

Sandwarrior........thanks for your comments. Don't know about the original poster, but your comments have helped me! I am thinking now that I am going to pull out of the gunsafe a 30-06 that I haven't fired in years and take the Seeandler out of the box, get some rings, and mount 'er up and take her to the range! Should have done it years ago after I bought the scope but got lost on other things (like work) but now have more time. Thanks for your feedback![:)] 0 -
Gary Wray,
You are welcome! Glad that came in handy. I've had a number of standard optic European scopes and kept wondering why they would never go "moa" Well, simple really... they measure in metric. So why not choose an angular optic adjustment system that 'naturally' coincides with metric (as well as imperial). Thus the clicks on all my European scopes were/are .36" per 100 yds.0
