[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 14726, member: 7"] WyoWhisper... "...do you have the Ralley's or the Senators???" The Senators. If I needed anyhing better, I would go to a very big 80mm or 100mm ED glass spotter. As to the optical quality of the Bushnell "Space masters". Back in '90 or '91, they made a special run of "ED" glass 60mm Spacemasters that were fairly expensive. They only made them for about a year, cuz they didn't sell well... reason was that the Spacemaster eyepieces were (and still are) real garbage, so the best objectives on the scope was wasted by the poor eyepiece. But I got one of these ED Spacemasters, and found that Kowa made a 50mm scope with screw on eyepieces that fit the Spacemasters, and their 11x33 (for the 50mm Kowa) was an EXCELLENT eyepiece for the ED Spacemaster, and because the SM had a 60mm obj, the real power was now 15x45... Kowa may still have some of these eyepieces left, and they will do wonders to any SM scope. CatShooter. [/QUOTE]
