Considering a spotting scope for myself, and it got me wondering how many shooters actually own or use them.
 
Leupold Mark4 , 12-40x60 mil dot, KOWA Prominar TSN 884 25-60x88 and am considering either a KOWA Highlander or Swaro BTX for ELR. Getting old and getting tired of one eye in a spotting scope for long periods of time.
 
I have a Leupold 12-40x60 no reticle but haven't used it in several years. I bought the Cannon 18x50 image stabilization binoculars and love them. A little lower on power but crystal clear and easy to see trace with.
 
I have an Athlon Cronus Tactical and Vortex Razor 27-60x85 with 22x fixed mag mrad reticle eyepiece.
 
I have an old leupold something or other. No reticle.
If I shot with other people more I would definitely want a reticle.
 
Running a Henny 45. Had a swaro str80 that was also nice.

Meopta Meopro 80. I didn't buy a scope with a reticle because I shoot alone most of the time. If I shot with a regular shooting buddy I would own one with a reticle.
 
Hensoldt 60 with Badger Ordinance Slick-H. Have since obtained Cat's Eye for objective.

I liked the reticle better in the 45 (Tremor 4) but needed the magnification of the 60 (45x versus 60x).

Any idea who might have cat eye in stock?

Have a slick on my 45, but can’t find the filter/cover to complete the kit.
 
Triad Tactical just got two in stock two weeks ago. I bought one and the other sold in a few days. Get on their notification list and you'll get an email when they are back in stock. That is what I did.
