[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 926457, member: 33822"] I paid $300 for my Gold Ring 15-30x50mm, but that was over 10 years ago... just looked and they're up to $400 now. First reason I don't carry it is I just don't want to carry any extra weight. second reason is the optics are not all that great compared to a high end unit. I would think the new models have better clarity but not sure. If I were to go on a trophy hunt where I really needed the performance of a spotting scope, I think I would carry the extra weight and go with a high-end swarovski (or similar). On a regular hunt where I don't care about finding a trophy a long ways off I just don't see the necessity for any spotting scope. I think a good set of good binocs are enough. [/QUOTE]
