Spotting Scopes

[NCstaccato]

Hello , new to the forum. I am close to pulling the trigger on a new spotting scope. I'm new to spotting scopes and have been doing a lot of research. I have been looking for a 773 with no luck. I have posted on a couple other sites. I intend to use this scope for benchrest shooting.
I see there is one on the classified section here ( body only). Awaiting my newbie time to reach out.

Right now the Kowa 88 is 500 bucks off which only a couple hundred from the 66. Since weight and size aren't a issue with benchrest shooting , why wouldn't I go bigger. Posting to get the experts opinion.

Thanks

I have a TSN-88A with the 25-60x WZ-II eyepiece. It is an amazing optic. I highly recommend it.

I just received my 88a today. I'm somewhat new to spotting scopes. I wear glasses and having an issue with eye relief.
Do you have any pointers ?

Contact lenses are what works for me. If you can give me a day or two, I'll pull mine out and play with it while wearing my glasses. Then I'll let you know if I come up with something. Assuming nobody else chimes in, would that work?

I did just think of something that might work if contacts aren't an option. I have an adapter that creates an interface between the eyepiece and my phone. It is made for digiscoping. I forget the manufacturer but it's a nice one. Eye relief isn't an issue with that - so it might be an option. I'll get the manufacturer name to you if you are interested.

That would be great!

Thanks

My digiscoping adapter is an Ollin. Its magnetic, which is pretty cool! Check out their website...

I have an angled TSN-77 with the 25-60 wide eyepiece and cover. I'm thinking of getting a straight if you are interested. Shoot me a PM.

I would be interested. I don't think I have enough post to be able to message yet. Either that or I can't figure it out. Let me know what you wan for it.

I took these pics awhile ago. I had it posted for sale and then decided not to sell. Back on the chopping block.
