[QUOTE="Mrhounddog, post: 1918809, member: 75135"] I know I am late to the thread, but here is my take. As a highpower guy I have looked through most of the top end spotting scopes. I like color clarity, but my main focus (yep, that is a good pun) is on resolution. The best resolution I owned was a Pentax PF80ED, which was stolen at Camp Perry. I could see .30 cal bullet holes at 600 yards more times than not. The color clarity was not as good as a Swarovski, but the resolution was unbeatable. I own an 80mm Zeiss, which never seemed to live up to its name. All that to say that the Kowa 88mm Prominar is a superior scope. The color clarity is top notch and the resolution is phenomenal. I was out at the Whittington Center back in February and while shooting the buffalo at 1123 I could catch glint off of splatter hitting the ground. That was a perfect day with the sun just right. If you get one, be sure to get the 27 wide angle lens for one of your choices (20-60x is the other). The light gathering and resolution with the 27 is great. Whelp, there is my 2 cents...worth...2 cents... :) [/QUOTE]
