[QUOTE="wyo7, post: 320588, member: 17553"] B23 I'm glad I've come across your post. I am shopping around for a spotting scope too. I had decided the sts 65HD swarovski with the 25-50 eyepiece was going to be a 'no brainer'. But now I've developed cold feet. I don't have the luxury of going to the local store and comparing scopes. I've purchased a Zeiss 20-60x 85mm spotter and used it for one month. I spent many hours behind that scope as well as my dad's Leupold 12-40x 60mm. The Zeiss was just slightly better than the Leupold. But not $1,300 better so I returned it and started shopping around. It's too bad that Nikons upper line EDG is so expensive. I don't even know if I can find a shop within a few hrs of driving to get a chance to look through the Nikon. It doesn't look as if Cabelas and Sportsmans have this scope in SLC, UT. Thats about 2.5hrs away and the max I'd drive to go look through scopes. Keep us posted on what you end up being satisfied with. [/QUOTE]
