Any experience with these 4 spotting scopes?
I will be using the scope for round impact viewing(.308) at 300 yards.
Any recommendations between the 4 would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I'd lean towards the bottom two and have recently heard good things from a buddy about the Vortex Nomad. If only using at the range though I'd try to spend the extra $100 and get the 80mm Skyline.

angled ocular spotting scopes don't lend well to hunting senerios .....trust me.

I have the Bushnell 20-60x80 ED glass but with a straight eyepiece. I like it a lot and it is pretty rugged and no problems after being knocked off the shooting bench onto concrete (36"fall). the optice are clear and focus sharp.


but for field use I would get a smaller unit

Good find. I did not see that one.
Is this the one your talking about?
