Spotting scope Recommendations

[4th_point]

thoughts? any other recommendations? thanks all

You will need more experience with scopes, and time to figure out your goals for your purchase.

Consider renting a scope for a bit to see what size/weight and zoom meets your needs.

And take your LRF to a local store like Cabela's or Sportsman's and try some of their scopes outdoors.

Once you get some experience, you'll have a better idea of what questions to ask.

That is what a tripod is for.
How is the glass? I have been none too impressed with Sig riflescopes.

I'm not really sure, I looked through them for about 10 minutes and I don't have an expensive spotting scope to compare it to. But like the guy in the video said with them you don't need to carry the extra gear.

No image-stabilized hand held bino will ever replace a tripod and good bino for glassing for game. I can't imagine how miserable it would be holding a set of binos to my face for 8+ hours a day. Or even for an hour.

I think these would be good for people that aren't sitting and doing extended glassing periods.

Agree. I just wonder how good the glass is.

We used a vortex razor 85mm side by side with a swaro atx 85mm. We were looking at a big bull approximately 1 1/2 miles away. Thought the vortex you could tell it was a big framed bull likely 6x6. Though the swaros you could see that it was actually a 7x7 with a kicker.

Decide if that detail difference is enough for you to justify the price. It is for me. Also no eye strain with the high quality glass.
