Cheap spotting scope.

[solo]

I shoot 2-3 times a month at the range, and was thinking about buying a cheap $200 Tasco spotting scope from London Drugs. It will probably never get used for anything else. Any thoughts?

Costco has them cheap time to time, can take it back there if it sucks. Maybe London drugs too.

Honestly, for $200, I'd sniff around for a used B&L/Bushy Elite 15-45x60 and have something you could actually use and see stuff with...

Cabellas USA. Because your buying it for bird watching if anyone asks
asks ...mind you I think it's fine to bring over a spotting scope

bushmaster 20-60+60 from crappy tire on sale 50 $ ,,works well 200yards,,almost any paper target..,,yes spend more money ,get better scope,,but for little budget that is ok..

[todbartell]

whole point of looking through a spotting scope is to see stuff better, right? I wouldn't waste $200 on a piece of shit on something you won't want to use because it's blurry and hard on the eyes. I'd look to spend $400 on a Vortex Diamondback spotter or $600 on a Viper, you'll actually enjoy using. Low end optics are a very poor investment IMO

I bought a cheap spotter from Cambodian tire, ended up shooting it.

I've got a Vanguard, Signature Plus 661 15x45.Never being used, you get to mark it up first! Should work for seeing where your hitting at the range. Still has the price tag on it, 483.99, comes with a real nice locking black and chrome case, also has a soft case for back packing, has a real nice small tripod too. 300.00 firm, if you want me to send you a photo, E-mail me at marvdean@lakecable.tv

I've got a cheap Bushnell somewhere....... I think I'm using it as a wheel chock for my truck.......

Spotting scopes that are decent are going to cost more than $200 new...look at a decent second hand one!

[solo]

Ok. I have been convinced not to buy the cheap scope and am taking M.Dean up on his offer.

I've got a Baush and Laumb Elite 15-45x60 you can have for 200$ its in mint condition.

[pnbrock]

Cheap will cost you more when u realize you should have bought a better quality first time around.

[spear]

I have a vortex impact
20-60x80mm with a soft case
I bought it for the same reason you were thinking about. If you re interested let me know.
If you want something to count points on a buck at 700 yards it is worth looking into a scope worth a bit more.

Ok. I have been convinced not to buy the cheap scope and am taking M.Dean up on his offer. It'll be on the Bus by noon today! Should meet your needs quite well!
