[QUOTE="Sully2, post: 717215, member: 31820"] Im not saying some of the "other brands" of scopes arent nice..because most are. Look at the price tags to semi-confirm that!! There are TOP echelon scopes ( Swaro, Zeiss, Kowa, etc) and there are dammed good scopes....Nikon, Pentaz, etc. BUT...dont fool yourself into thinking a Nikon is "just as good" as a Swaro.....'cause it isnt! Not to say a second tier scopes wont do you and last you more than the rest of your life, because they will. A lot has to do with the "Look at what Im using" concept....which never impressed me 1 iota. I use a Pentax 65mm that set me back about $700..??...and then the eye piece was another $300 bucks. Is there better?...You bet your bottom dollar there is. When I get to take a peek thru a $3500 Swaro setup...I get teary eyed......:) Right now a man can buy a 65mm Pentax WITH a 20-60 zoom eyepiece from Eagle Optics for a DANDY price [url]http://www.eagleoptics.com/spotting-scopes/pentax/pentax-pf-ed-ii-65mm-st-spotting-scope-70966-w-20-60x-zoom-70530[/url] [/QUOTE]
