I need suggestions on some decent spotting scopes. I work for a local PD gang unit and we are going to buy a couple of spotting scopes to be used for surveillance. I wasn't given a budget but I know I can't get anything extremely high dollar. If anybody can make any suggestions I will appreciate it.

You can have angled or straight and I have had zero issues with this and it compares to optics at twice the price..
Vortex Optics - Razor HD 20-60x85 Angled
You can also get camera attachments to take pics with it. They have the scope listed at 2k MSRP on the site but they are about 1600 retail at many locations and if you go through the department for the purchase I am sure you could get a better deal.

In the $1400ish price range I would also look at the new Meopta Meopro HD spotter. Besides the awesome clarity and low light performance, I really like that the course and fine adjustment are all done on the same focus ring. I find it easier and quicker to focus than the Vortex.

Give myself or jay a call. We can hook you up with whatever you need. We also do department Purchase Orders.
My Mark 4 TMR spotter is excellent. compact, light weight. excellent glass. leo discount is really good also.
I'd go with the Leupold. It is the only spotter I've found that has enough eye relief to get a full field of view while wearing eyeglasses. It has 30mm while most of the others have 16-20. I see no point in paying more for slightly better glass and clarity in a scope that vignettes down to 1/2 size.
Most people who shoot a lot........ use Kowas...... medium priced spotting scopes.
