[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 263993, member: 12443"] im from pa. and do all of my hunting there. most pa. long range hunting is from a stationary position, so packing isnt much of a problem. its rare to see someone using a single spotting scope. everybody uses binoculars, and most are twin spotters in a bracket. hands down the most popular is the bushnell spacemaster. certainly kowa, or swarovski, are better scopes. but they are also far more expensive. ive bought dozens of used spotters on ebay. at this moment, i have 4 bushnell spotters ive bought used on ebay. i will eventually be putting them in brackets, as i did all the others. last night i saw one go for $80 with a 15x45 eyepiece. i can guarantee that scope will do all you are asking for. a window mount will cost about $15 also on ebay. for spotting from a vehicle, a straight thru eyepiece is a must. also, for mounting in pairs, that would be better. as a rule, zoom eyepieces arent as sharp as standard ones of same power. eye relief is due to the eyepiece, and not the scope itself. a zoom is fine for single spotter use. there are lots of good spotters out there today. but very few are better than the older bushnell spacemasters.
