Spotting scope reviews

[T Bone]

Schmalts,

Thats the spotter I ended up getting! That's a great price if its the real ED glass with warranty etc... In my shopping it was on par with Leupold's and Pentax offerings. It was not as bright as Swaro, Zeiss.

It is very durable and very packable. I like it! The only quivel is the eyepiece guard's relief was a bit long so I folded it back and it's no concern now.

One thing to consider is if its straight or angled. I prefer straight, others prefer angled.

For a price reference, bear basis shows the spotter body at $629 and the eyepiece for $129

Also, the soft field case is nice. It allows use of it while in the case. Just a couple zipper pulls and the ends zip out.

Joe, I have several pieces by Seeadler Optik. They are excellent European glass for Gringo prices.. Most of them tend to be a bit on the heavy side, the they are clear and tough. Give it a try..
