If you are in Australia Aldi had a 20-60×60 spotting scope for about $60, might try to get it at distance on the weekend. I have looked through the cheaper bushnell and wasn't impressed for the price, was somethinglike $650.
Purchased a Konus 20-60x100 for $400, pretty happy with optics.
It'll do for the range, and maybe some moon worship.
Plus if I lend it, it won't cost the dummy who breaks it, too much to replace.
