I've never owned a spotting scope so I've been dreaming of one for a while. I have the opportunity through work to buy any Bushnell products for 50% of retail so I'm looking at this spotter.

Is it worth even the $600 it would cost me? Should I be looking for the straight-body one or the 45 degree one? I hunt out west in a lot of very open country where you can literally see elk and deer several miles away so being able to see fine detail at long ranges is important (Elk is spike-only for general rifle season and deer is 3-pt or better only). I also don't want a scope that is too heavy. This model also has a camera adaptor and I wanted that as well for some digiscoping with my Nikon D-80 DSLR.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks guys and gals.
