The problem i am having with this older glass is that there is no warranty on the investment. If I go Swarvarski it will be new. With Leupold or even Burris it is warrantied for ever.

I was kidding, I personally prefer the best, even if I have to pay for it to get fixed later, but that's me. If a warranty makes you feel warm and fuzzy, buy the one with the warranty.So the warranty that Leupold, Warne and RCBS has is guaranteed crap? I do not buy that logic. I respect a company that stands behind its product and is willing to put it in writing.
Something else to consider; REI and Costco used to provide almost unlimited lifetime warranties, but no longer do so after the scum ruined it for the legitimate ones. For example, I had heard of people returning shoes to REI that were rode hard and put away wet. After a few years of abuse, they were returned "because they didn't like them".So the warranty that Leupold, Warne and RCBS has is guaranteed crap? I do not buy that logic.

When a company changes its policy / support maybe its time to look elsewhere.Something else to consider; REI and Costco used to provide almost unlimited lifetime warranties, but no longer do so after the scum ruined it for the legitimate ones.

Agreed, but my point is more that your lifetime warranty is only good if the company is still in business and also if they are able to maintain it.When a company changes its policy / support maybe its time to look elsewhere.
Check Midway's prices on Vortex Razors.I am tired of cheap hard to focus old spotting scopes.
I am looking for a nice spotting scope for around 1500$
I would use it at the range and in the field. Wanting a wide range of magnification 20-60 power.
I have considered Swarvarski or Zeis but neither come with the guarantee that Burris, Leupold or Vortex do.
I don't expect to use it past about 500 yards - I want to see 22 caliber holes at 300 yards on a target.
I have little experience in this topic so I am asking for a bit of guidance.
Not to reflect poorly on my wife, but sheesh, I wish I had that level of support from her!I am beginning to look for property in eastern Oregon - looking for about 100 acres undeveloped - wife finally asked why I had not bought any yet. Figure that is a green light to go.
Look for a good used photography tripod off craigslist or one of the other classified pages. Something from Manfrotto or similar designed for DSLR with large telephoto lenses. I prefer lever lock legs over twist lock.Think I have three spotting scopes, my biggest problem has been finding a good usable tripod.
I keep a Redfield in the truck with a window mount and it's stable and easy to focus.
My Leupold I have tried 3 different tripods and can't get a good stable set up that I can keep the target focused.
My third is a pistol range Kowa built on to my pistol shooting box. Great set up.
