[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 216247, member: 3373"] Bought a Cabela's brand spotting scope at least 20 years ago.Still use it and think it works pretty well. Have no idea who made the scope for Cabela's. Works pretty well is a relative term. I think I see pretty good through that older spotter then I look through my son's $1000+ Leopold. Big difference. So relative is "can you see what you need to see satisfactorily?" At a pretty long distance, further than I can shoot, I can count points, determine whether it's something I want to shoot, etc. Can I pick a single horn out of an animal standing in the brush at that same distance? No. As with all optics, try them out is good advice and a question such as this can shorten that search. Once you have some info, then use the rule, "Buy as much as you are comfortable spending."
