My buddy is looking at getting the nikon prostaff spotting scope. anyone have any thoughts on the nikon line? or anyone have one who is or isnt satisfied??
They are fine, not the same as the ED models. I have an Spotter XLII kit that I like, it was clearer to my eyes than the Prostaff. I am actually thinking about selling it to put towards a larger ED model. If you decide to not go with the Prostaff, let me know. Thanks.
I have a pro staff 15+48 and love it. If your buddy is'nt wanting to spend much more than 600.00 you cant beat it for the price. I spent 429.00 for mine with a tri-pod included. So if I was to do it all over again I would buy the pro-staff. plus the warranty is tuff to beat. I hope that helps.
I just bought the 20x60-80 last season and it was incredible to look through. It was better in the field than i expected and maybe a little too much. I found that i could count points from even further than i had anticipated, almost wish that i had got the more compact 60mm. The 80 is huge for packing around and you have to step up your tripod to support it. But certainly worth the $600 i paid for it no question.
