I find myself in a bit of a quandry now.
I've got two sets of very nice bino's a set of 10x50 Steiner Night Hunters, and a set of 8x30 Ziess's, but I'd like to add a good spotting scope to that.
My problem is, I'm pretty much clueless when it comes to spotting scopes.
I've looked at the Leupold Gold Rings, Ziess Dailyt and Diascopes, Swarvoski, Leica ect, but I'm not really sure what I want/what to look for in spotting scopes.
Initially, I was looking at the Leupold's, but I'm wondering how much nicer the glass in the Swarvo/Ziess/Leica's are? I've seen first hand the difference in Ziess rifle scopes vs Leupold, are the spotting scopes as big a difference as well?
I'm not against spending money to get nice stuff, which is mainly why I'm looking at the bigger name brands, but I want to make sure I buy something thats going to work for me and not turn into a wasted 3K. So what would you more knowledgeable guys suggest?
Mostly I hunt by ATV, bear, moose, and caribou. I don't sheep or goat hunt, nor do I forsee myself starting that, so I'm not as concerned about shaving every ounce.
