Does anything really compete with the Swarovski models in the 65 mm spotting scope class?
I'm looking at making the big purchase this year or next depending on draws, and will spend the money if necessary, as I am very happy with my other Swaro products, but wouldn't mind saving a few bucks to spend on other equipment (higher quality tripod) if I'm not losing a ton of performance by going with another option.
I will not be using this a ton, mostly verifying legality on mule deer / moose / elk after I have glassed them up with my 15x Swaro binos.
My pet peeve with optics is crappy eye box / tunneling, so would like to avoid cheaper optics that have those issues in particular.
Thanks!
