Good luck in your search. But don't just settle on the ATS. From what I can tell on this ole interweb, the ATX series is the best thing since sliced bread. It's been ranked the best spotting scope system by birding, hunting and digiscoping reviewers every year since it came out in 2012. It comes with a price, but if you're already in the Swaro price ranges I figured I could point this one out. Look for used objective and ocular pieces sold separately. BHphoto has a nice used department. Best thing is you could buy half now and half later, or the ocular and 65mm objective now, then as time and money permit acquire an additional 85 or 95mm objective.
