Which Spotting Scopes are you using?

[Rob]

Looking for a pair around the $600 mark. I currently have the Bushnell POS model which is good for the range, but gives me a headache when using it for longer periods (hunting). I was looking at the Bushnell Excursion FLP's. anyone have any thoughts? Leuplold? Thanks Rob

If you are getting eye/headaches you may want to change the way you are using the scope. I got them using a swarovski scope until I changed my way of viewing. However for the price that bushnell looks like a smokin deal.

Ya spend the extra 400-500 if you can and buy the Leupold Goldring 12x40x60.Its a great scope rather light and compact and very clear to look thru even at the 40 power.

How do you mean? Use my binos more and the scope less? Thanks for the reply's. Rob

You should be using your binos for all your glassing and using your spotting scope to look at certain objects, animals, to clarify something or looking at something that your binos cannot see clearly. Using your spotting scope for glassing can be the cause for headaches and sore necks.

I use a B&L Elite 20-60x70. A little heavy, but a nice clear scope. I really like the Leupold and of course the Leica, Zeiss and Swarovski, but for now will settle for my Elite.

Last year I picked up a Leupold Goldring 12-40x60 at the Kamloops gunshow for $800. It was new, never used. I'd watch the Buy and Sell if I were you and you can find some good glass within that price range.

How do you like it?

I love it. Have used them for several years as a few of my buddies have the exact same scope.
I saw one at the Kamloops Gunshow today for $1050. Told the guy I bought one at last year's gunshow for $800 and he was shocked.

I have a vintige Bushnell I use. Been looking hard at the Vortex spotting scopes. Yes I know they're not high end but for the money not to mention the warenty I think they'er the best out there for the price.
