Thread: Spotting scope recommendations?

I’ve been good lately so Shirley said she would shout me a spotting scope. Yussss! I use 6.5x55 and .223 out to 300m on our local range and when experimenting with various pills/loads in my collection of 6.5’s, I get sick of walking out to the butts.

I’m contemplating Vortex as I use their scopes on my ‘best’ rifles. Guessing 20-60 x approx 80mm objective. I’d dearly love a Kowa but don’t have enough ‘credits’ at this stage.

Any recommendations from personal ownership/use please. Some of the club members have bought low end spotters and don’t enjoy using them. The spotter would be used primarily on the range. Estimating I’m allowed something up to $1500 max.
