[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1957644, member: 113501"] I have been tempted to try a Super Sniper light weight, I think it's 2.5-10x32. If that's enough magnification and light gathering, it might be a good choice. I'm not a binocular snob. I have some Endeavor ED Chinese binoculars which I think are pretty nice. I also have some Sig Kilo3000BDX LRF binoculars which seem pretty equivalent in optical quality, both seem good to me but they are both value level glass. I hear good things about Tract binoculars, I have one of their scopes and like it. If you can figure out those two, you'll know your spotting scope budget. My spotter is an Orion 90mm Maksutov Cassegrain with 500mm focal length and an Arcturus binoviewer. I have about $550 total in it. A Swarovski BTX with binocular eyepiece is more like $4,500 so mine is very cheap. A friend of mine who has used that BTX said mine was surprisingly good. I won't claim it's as good as a Swarovski but it shows that you can get pretty close for a lot less if you look at telescope stuff instead of dedicated shooting/hunting gear that's a bit ruggedized and waterproof.
