| I looking to get a spotting scope. I think the 20x60 magnification is what I want. Do any of you guys have any luck with a mid grade spotting scopes. I'm looking for an upper low grade to lower mid grade. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks |
Go look at the Eagle optics at your local birds unlimted store - go and ask for a sale price. I have some four or five stores in town - I got one to play - ordered it and had it delevered to my door.go hang out on the Serivce rifle match - board. good luck. Later, Badredfish |

i just bought a bushnell trophy 20x60 at bass pro for 200. i like it a lot, i was using it last night to look at saturn and the moon. the moon was too bright, and saturn was nice and sharp, and i could see the rings. i just dont think much of the tripod, but that is an easy fix. |

Picked up a $65 dollar NC Star spotting scope off Ebay. It's a 20x60x60. Came with tripod, case, and laser that fits underneath to help with finding what you're looking at. I've found it's more fun to tease the dogs with. I figured cheap scope and cheap clarity/view/etc. Nope. I was at BassPro over the weekend and looked through $1,200 swarvski or whatever they're called and this thing seems every bit as good. Even at 60xzoom I can read license plates from 1/4 mile away, and everything is clear. Can't wait to take it to the lake with me and get out of the city to do some moon and planet watching. I was a bit apprehensive at first, but am really impressed with the price and performance. If anyone is in the market for a cheap one, this is the one to get.

Look for a 60 mm Bushnell Spacemaster - I had one that I regret selling. The other scope I would recommend is a Kowa TS-601 pr TS-501; get it from Jim Owens at www.jarheadtop.com |
