Have you considered the Vortex Viper HD 20-60x80 Spotter? It's a great scope and now with the sale we are running, see sale post here you can add a Vortex Dakota Tripod for $.01

I just picked up a Vortex spotter from Doug at cameralandny.
Great service and company to deal with, and a great spotting scope!

Pentax 80mm with 20-60x Zoom.
I got it through Doug, Hide Sponsor, for a great price. A few years later I purchased a new Manfrotto 055 XPro tripod with a gear head.
A few months ago I got to compare it against a Vortex Razor.
The difference in Quality optics is $250 per step. Spend $250 more, get more.
I really like my Pentax and the only complaint I have is the focus is a little touchy. Optically for shooting, the Pentax is fantastic. Now that I have seen the Vortex Razor, I wish I had spent a little more and gotten it.
The Manfrotto 055 XPro with gear head is fantastic! I got it on sale for about $270 and that is worth every penny. Do not get cheap on a tripod.
I considered the Bushnell Elite. I have a few Bushnell Elite rifle scopes and find them a tremendous value.
Spend once, cry once!

The Manfrotto 055 XPro is the head?
I have a great carbon fiber tri pod, but no head. I want a good one that isn't to heavy or big.
Comments????
