I've reached the age where eyeglasses are a necessity, both for distant and near vision. That makes taking them on and off when switching from shooting to spotting to writing in the data book pretty cumbersome. What I'm looking for is a quality spotting scope with enough eye relief to see a nice, full picture without vignetting. My 20 year old Leupold 12-40 has plenty of eye relief (30mm), but probably falls short in optical quality compared to today's best. I've looked at the Swarovski and Vortex, but both of those have eye relief in the 18-20mm range. This obviously leaves me with a bad case of tunnel vision and really doesn't seem to make sense on a $2000 purchase.
Any other options I should consider that might fit my goals?
Thanks
