Spotting scope recommendations

[GoatGuy]

Would save one more year or split a good one with a hunting buddy. Minimum recommend is a leupold gold ring.

Nothing more disappointing than packing a couple of extra pounds of milky optics around in your pack because 'it has a warranty'.

And by the way picked up an hd 65 mm swaro with 20-60 and case in great shape last fall for $1000 - the deals are out there.

Something about goats and rubber boots ........

OSW got one brand new about 8 years ago for $2000 IIRC.

Rather be lucky than good any day.

Spend the money! Do it right once! Trust me..

Don't waste your $600. Sell a rifle or a quad and do it right the first time. The most important tools to me are boots, binos, and spotting scope. The rest is gravy. If you really need one this year and can't come up with the money, buy a toilet paper roll, put some Syran wrap over each end and look through it. I would sell my $2000 rifle and buy a savage package before I went hunting without a good spotting scope. Look in the states or eBay or Craigslist for a used Swaro or Zeiss. Good deals are out there. I think I paid $1300 for mine.

Any preference on straight thru or angled

if your not a hard core sheep hunter thats always hunting the high country ..tinhorses elite will serve you well for 250.00..you dont need 2000 dollar optics to kill things ..trust me .

Angled for me, just my preference. Straight might be nice if your above, and looking down on your game, but that's not usually the case for me.. I find angled comfy for seating well glassing.
