After weeks of agonizing research and consideration, I flipped a coin and ordered a spotting scope. I read review after review on umpteen web sites and am more confused now than ever. I was leaning towards a Vortex, the scope I bought is amazingly clear but the reviews on the spotting scope were not very good. I settled on a Celestron with ED (I hope that,s not what it sounds like). It was more than I wanted to spend but I can't see the dang holes in my targets and am too dang old and crippled to walk out there after every shot. Sue has started shooting with me at the range and insisted we buy a good one for "our Christmas Present," so I did. Here is what I bought, I'll let you know if it works out or not.

Looks good. If you haven't gotten one, make sure you get a really good tripod for it. They cost a bit more but are far superior to the light-weight ones sold in WalMart and etc. They are too light to stand up to even light breezes without vibrating. Especially at higher magnifications, this makes viewing difficult if not impossible. Good luck and keep us posted on your experience.
I have a prett sturdy table top tripod I use at the range. Not sure if it will be enough bor this scope but I thought I'd try it. I intend to get a good tripod for it. I know about the WalMart variety, I've destroyed a couple of them. Thanks.
