I've got a cabelas ED model I think its 20-60x its a great scope, not outrageous, but not cheap either (~$600 i think), also I kinda had to laugh, a spotting scope for 200yds? for what? get a pair of binoculars.

To me a spotting scope is to decide whether or not a animal is worth going after at.....1000yds or more.....I dont think anyone needs 20-60power for an animal at 200yds.

Also have to agreed with what was stated above, I had a tasco from years ago, it was ok for the range, 100yds I think it was a 15-45X I think new it was $120 really it was only good for the range, 100yds and 200yds wasnt that helpful.

When it comes to anythign with glass I tend to think, figure out what you want to spend....then figure to spend another 25-100% more then what you first figured. Glass is expensive, and quality glass is even more so, but IMO its certainly worth it.

If wall you want is to use one at the range, you may be able to get away with something cheaper for up to 200yds, but Id rather spend that money on a quality scope that would be able to tell the difference. I remember having that 45X cheap spotting scope, and my leupold 14x rifle scope had way better seperation at 100/200yds, so even though it had 45X capability the 14x scope did a way better job.
