[QUOTE="gonehuntingagain, post: 65477, member: 1206"] Since you will probably get one before I do, here is what I want to see in one (since I'll probably be looking through it as much as you!) I know I want the optics to be clear from edge to edge, like if you move your head slightly while looking through the scope. I want to be able to see a chuck sitting on a rock at 1000 yards, as well as gauge the size and sex/antlers of an elk/deer at the same distance. I wouldn't take it with me if I walk in somewhere (I know you won't be either), so size doesn't matter [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] (I know where you guys will go with that one!) I don't think it would be used much in the twilight for spotting game, so this may mean that a smaller objective would be acceptable. Being able to hook a camera up to it would be cool. Since the max power on your 308 scope is 14x, I would think the spotting scope would need to start somewhere around that power. What are the pros/cons of a straight vs. angled eye piece? [/QUOTE]
