Spotting scopes under $2200

[velvetant]

What spotter would you recommend at that price and under?
Looking for magnification around 15-45 65mm or 20-60 85mm.
All I seem to be able to find and look through locally are vortex Razor and they look nice.
Very hesitant to order something I can't look through before buying.
Uses will be long range marmot, varmints, long range steel out to 1400, general target shooting.
Thanks

IMO your best options would be Meopta or Kowa. Please give us a call, 516-217-1000 to discuss it

I know you’re asking for a spotter, but for this use, swaro 15x56 slc are tough to beat.

Thanks everybody
Already have a very nice set of binoculars, now want a nice spotting scope.
Think I settled on the Meopta S2 82 HD over the Kowa 883, not sure yet if I want the 20-70 or 30-60wa eyepiece.
Did most of my research on the bird watching forum, those people are picky.

Taken with phone through Meopta S2, Cabelas version.

Good Choice!!! the Meopta Meostar S2 20-70 is what I got. I was simply blown away with clearly seeing grouping at 600 yards on a white paper target from tiny 6.5 CM bullets....congrats. I wonder if they can produce a eyepiece with yet a higher magnification
