500-800 dollar spotting scope

[mtmuley]

I'm looking for feedback on spotting scopes in this price range. I know Swaros and such are better, but this is my range. I'm not interested in the new stuff like Vortex or Zen Ray. The higher power models fit my needs best. Thanks, mtmuley

The Cabela's Big Sky HD 20-60x66 comes in right at $800. One of the best for that price range IMO. I own one and honestly have a little bit of buyers remorse though. I really don't use it a whole lot but wish I would have waited and picked up either the Vortex Razor or Cabela's Euro spotter. They are the best bang for the buck right now. What ever you decide, don't skimp on a good tripod. The best spotter in the world is worthless on a flimsy, cheap tripod.

Nikon makes some good scopes in that price range.

I have the Vortex Skyline ED. It is very very good. A little large but fits the bill for your price, and has excellent low light capabilities.

I'm selling my Vortex Skyline ED in the classifieds if interested. I really liked the spotter and it served me well. I was able to recently upgrade to a Swarovski spotter and that's the only reason I'm selling this one. Fits the $5-800 range perfectly IMO.

You should check out the Minox spotting scopes as well, they fit in that price range and are a great optics.
