[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 1935278, member: 37460"] Buy what looks good to your eye and not someone else’s. Both are good brands with a wide array of line ups and models. Myself, I would look at the Vortex PST line or the Athlon ARES line or above. If using for long range you will also want certain features in your rifle scope. “Zero Stop” turrets if dialing adjustments for elevation. FFP reticle if using the reticle itself for elevation and windage adjustments. Another brand you may consider that I recently stumbled on is Crimson Trace. The 2 series and above are all made in Japan with great optics (HD glass) and are built like a tank. I liked them so much I now own 4 of them, 3 in the 2 series and 1 in the 5 Series. They’re priced right, and the glass for ME is better than my Vortex PST gen 2 and my Athlon Midas. Same warranty as the others also. I bought my spotting scope from [USER=9641]@gr8fuldoug[/USER] Doug and Neal at Cameraland. Give them your budget and they’ll steer you to the best choices for your $. I ended up with a Pentax PF65ED spotter and a super high quality eyepiece to go with it, all for well under $1000. [/QUOTE]
