RE: Good Spotting Scope
O.k...I'm hear to help you not bash you..
You will get a huge list by alot of guys giving you suggetions on what type $200 dollar scope to get where to get it etc..
Take your time look threw them yourself, look throw lots of manufacturers and models and lots of the same models..
Park your vehical aways from the store but in seeing distance..Before you enter the store set up targets with .22 cal and .30 cal holes on and around your vehical..
Then go to the clerk, and start checking them out,take them outside focus with them in the morning afternoon and just dusk..
Then ask your self is a 200.00 spooting scope going to help me out in the situation I want to use it for..
Please don't throw your money away taking on a chance,in whichI and lots of others will know you are going to regret..
Your probabkly better off using a quality pair of bino's if 200 yrds is your max distance anyways..
Save your money and wait..
If its urgent and it can't wait,heres a suggestion,when I was young,on a budget, we had a planned sheep hunt, I went in with my brother andcousins and a friend and together we purchased a Leica between the six of us no fights have ever insued over it.
Now18 years later, weall have our own, but that one is still there, for anyone of us to use,now some of our kids will have to use it,but its well looked after and it probably was the best $250.00 I ever spent.
