[QUOTE="matt_3479, post: 1779743, member: 23070"] Looking at getting my first spotting scope. With the purchase of my first house just happening I imagine my budget being pulled back a bit. Would like to purchase my first spotting scope by April for shooting season to give me some time to save. I’m focused on vortex due to the fact I get an amazing discount on there products. this spotting scopes main use will be for around home, driving around checking fields for whitetail and deer. Window mount. Ranges aren’t too long, 1000 yards is absolute tops around me (southern Ontario). Depends on size and weight it might come with moose hunting annually which then will be put to use over large clear cuts, tops of ridges scouting, and back lakes extending the range to 2000 yards roughly. i want nice and clear glass, reasonably relatively light weight, and solid. I think I’m leaning towards the razor HD 11-33x50 but would like to hear if the viper is good enough or if the added range of the 27-60x85 is necessary. The price jump from the 11-33 to the 27-60 is a big step up and so is weight. The 22-48 is another option but just don’t know what power is best used when I’ve never owned a spotting scope. Is angled or straight more preferred? [/QUOTE]
