[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 1611044, member: 95344"] It's probably more of a gimmick than anything else. Most likely good enough for the average sight seer. Here's what I have learned from guides and serious hunters that use spotting scopes. For picking out game by carefully searching terrain (scanning) they try to get the best glass they can. Because they've compared glass side by side and missed game because they couldn't see it compared to other spotters. So if you intention is to search for game using a spotter then I'd get the best glass you can. Depending on the distance a compact spotter might be good enough to judge if a buck or bull is worth the effort for you. But again the best glass you can afford will perform that task better.
