I'm looking at buying a spotting scope as a gift for someone - would like the price to be below 350. It would most often be used on a range at 200 or less, but would probably see some use on prairie dog colonies. For this stuff, I don't think that the magnification needs to be that great.
I don't want anything made in China.
What are the advantages to either having the eyepiece angled or straight?
Are there any great and wonderful black Friday deals out there now?
What would you guys say give the greatest bang for the buck in that price range?
I hear good stuff about Konus, but I'm unsure about their warranty.
People also seem pleased with the Vortex line - but I really don't know anything about the company.
I've also read some poor reviews of Leupold's Green Ring line, which surprises me a bit.
I'd love to hear any comments or suggestions you guys have.
