    Bushpilot, was selling an awesome Pentax Ed 65 i think it was. Back in December.
    I’d buy it but I have a good spotter already.

    I have the Pentax 65 I think it’s great ! The bird watching community gives it good reviews .

    Re: Spotting scopes

    nothing, other than that bird watchers aren't hiking into remote areas with 50lbs of other gear, so the weight for them is not as much of a concern.

    Re: Spotting scopes

    I’m using a Razor HD 16-48x65. Been a great unit so far. Did use their warranty as my eyepiece had a small black dot in it and they sent me a new one. Great warranty and quick too. There are deals out there, just need to be ready to jump on it when they arise.

    This as above or save a little longer and get a Vortex Razor, both have pretty good glass I just find the Razor more user friendly and a bit more compact
    7mm PRC soon to be the most popular cartridge in North America

    Haha this seems to be typical of Vortex glass. I sent a rifle scope back and my partner a Razor spotter and a pair of Razor binos with the same black dot. Their QC is crap.

    That being said if you can find one without a black dot you should be fine haha.

    So it sounds like doing a little more penny pinching and looking for a used model is my best option.
    thanks for all your replies.
