I'm looking for a spotting scope for long range shooting in the $350ish range. Any ideas appreciated.

Hey all (it's been a while since I last posted, I know :))
I'm gonna borrow this topic a bit, since I have exactly the same question: what spotting scope to get (under $350) for general use (hunting, shooting ...) Is it even worth bothering with spotters this cheap, or should I save up and get something better instead? Thanks |

The only reason I do not own one of these is the fact that SWFA was out of stock. I did find a smoking deal on a Leuppy Gold Ring compact off the Sample list though. The Minox has better reviews, and cost less new, but the Leupold does work well.

If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

Cool, thanks. I actually found a used Minox spotter (angled) around here, but I'm still a bit sceptical. I think I'll save up an get a proper one (or a used high end one). Or is this Minox going to cover all of my needs, until I'll be able to afford a better, high end one?
Thanks again. |

What do you consider "long range"? |
