[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1336219, member: 12193"] I've used the first generation Kenai a few times and have been very impressed with it. Very sharp images. You will have no problem seeing bullet holes at 200-300 yards. I can't comment on how these 2 scopes compare, other than what applies to spotting scopes in general: The 60-65mm scopes are good for all-around use because they gather a decent amount of light and remain fairly compact. Any more than 45x is useless with a 60mm objective because there is not enough light being transmitted. The 80mm scopes are definitely brighter and better for low light. The higher zoom is actually usable in average light conditions. But they are big and heavy, so they aren't great for packing around much. The Kenai is actually rather short and compact for an 80mm scope. But still a fair bit larger than most 60-65mm scopes. I would think either of these 2 spotters would serve you well - just figure out how much you'll be packing it around vs. spotting from the car or bench. [/QUOTE]
