You can't go wrong with a Leupold, though my experience is with a rifle scope. I have a Vortex spotting scope, one of the older 80 mm Nomads. They fixed it without charge when my son knocked over the tripod and the base of the scope broke. If you have the luxury, I'd strongly encourage to look through a scope before you buy. People's eyes are different and what may seem like the best scope to one may not be the case with another.
