I know what you pay for is what you get, but my needs and wants are not extreme and I’m hopeing to pick something up for a reasonable price.
I’ve never used a spotting scope much, I’m not a huge fan of having some giant scope taking up room in my pack but I think that a spotting scope would be a asset on most my hunts.
I'm looking for something to aid in glassing and to help count points on deer out to maybe 500 yards.
My brother has a Redfield Rampage and likes it so I’m thinking something in that price range (200-350$)
So far I’m thinking about these options.
what do you think?
Any advice and experiences would be appreciated.
