There is a sport shop in Canada called Wholsale Sports.
www.wholesalesports.com they sell the Baush and Lombe Elite
15X45X60 for under 500.00 Canadian. I have never used one but according to articalls I've read it is not a bad spotting scope.
Thats what I use and I absolutely love it. Lightweight durable and great glass. It was recommended by just a few optics experts. Now if your going on a guided hunt leave it home and hopefully if you have a reputable guide he has one along with a good pair of binos .

. BTW I purchased a Leupold fixed power gold ring scope last year because they are compact..lets just say I don't own it anymore.
