I am looking at new spotting scopes and I am looking to get some other input. I can't afford the swarovski or zeiss 2500-3000 dollar scopes but I am looking at the leupold sx-1 or the bushnell elite. Anybody out there have any thoughts on a good mid range spotting scope?
I'm not sure what your budget is, but I would say best bang for your buck hands down is kowa. If that is to much the new vanguard endeavor hd is pretty impressive for the price. Birding forums have the best reviews.
on the low end scopes i really like the Celestron found the glass to be way better than the low end leopolds or bushnells. I think the 60mm scope was only $100 as well

I am looking for something in the 700-1000$ range. Something I csn take sheep hunting and prairie hunting as well. Checked out the Kowa's on line, they didn't really shoe power range just mm. Which one would you guys suggest?
