What I would ask a new buyer.
How good are your eyes? That alone can bear on what scope you can buy and one you have to buy.
How do you use it? Do you use it for spotting distant game out west, while hunting or scouting?
Do you use it at a rifle range only?
If you only use a spotting scope at a rifle range, with good vision, you can go for one of the adequate less expensive scopes. Most ranges are in the open; no great shadows; used before dusk and after dawn. Great, great scope magnification is not needed for many ranges, when used.
I've used a Bushnell Sportsview (keep the scope in the box)for some years, and it meets my needs of range use only and very reasonable price.
