[QUOTE="ltrmc02, post: 1051537, member: 39103"] I've been studying on spotting scopes for the past several hours and am just burned out on reading about them and trying to decide what price range I want to fall into. I've never had or used a spotting scope before but am interested in one mainly to see bullet holes when target shooting and to observe any nice bucks that may be out in my back field. I've got about 400 yards on my property to shoot so would like to be able to see .308 holes at that distance, under ideal conditions of course. I've about decided that I'd like to go with a straight eye piece and I'm back and forth on a 60 or 80mm size. I don't shoot competition which I know an angled scope is preferred but leaning towards the straight to quicker find that buck in the field. I guess my question is at what price point can I start getting into some decent optical quality in a straight 60 or 80mm scope? The best bang for the buck price range and any specific model recommendations of some that you've used and were happy with would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
