RE: Lower end spotting scope advice needed
You can call this Impact Spotter low end because of its price if you'd like but it's far from that! It's powerful, clear & bright. I promise you it will make a believer out of you that that for 200.00 you can own something that is not a piece of junk! I used this scope last year & it weighs 2 1/4 lb & is 10" long & comes with a slick table top tripod & a soft case, I pack the whole unit with tripod easily on our deer hunts. It has a lifetime fully transferable warranty on top of that! It's certainly one to consider.
