Re: Where to buy a Kowa spotter?
Creedmore had a great sale on them that included the eyepiece, lens protection, scope bag and a Creedmore 1" (with enough extension for offhand)Polecat High Power rifle style stand with carry bag - $1300.
Give them a call and see if there will be another offering as such. If you have no interest in the stand - disregard.
Jarhead Top has a good deal where he will sell you a Konus scope and if within the year find it does not work for you he will offer 100% of the price you paid to purchase a Kowa from him. If you decide to go that route make sure that the turn in Konus can suffer the typical wear and tear of range use and still be flipped for full value.
