Default Spotting scope..

I was looking at getting a spotting scope and was wondering what everyone else uses. I would like to get the Burris 20x60x80 model. Has anyone ever used this model? What are all your choices on spotting scopes.

I am also in the market for a good spotting scope. My main use would be target shooting to maybe 300 yards.
I am considering either the Leupold SX-2 20x60x80 or the 20x60x60.

I currently have a Mead Zoom 20 x 60 that I am happy with. It may or may not work for your situation but it works great for me..

I have a Leupold 15-45x60 spotting scope. In my experience, if you want to be able to see bullet holes at 300 yd., especially with heat mirage, I'd recommend going with the 60x. It's challenging sometimes at 45x.

I've used the Burris 20x-60x-80mm spotting scope, and it's been a game-changer for me when I'm out birdwatching or at the range. The clarity and zoom range are fantastic, especially when I'm trying to spot distant targets or identify birds. However, I've also heard great things about other brands like Vortex, Celestron, Leupold, Nikon, and Bushnell. It really comes down to personal preference and what fits your budget and specific needs best. Just make sure to read some reviews and maybe even try out a few different models.
