spotting scopes

[redrocket]

I am in need of a spotting scope. how do the vortex and other similar brands compare to the swarovski? I would prefer 20-60 power in a 60mm or somthing similar. Should i save my money or buy the best? (what is the best)

Thanks

I checked out both the swaro & zeiss,I went with the Zeiss 15x45x65 FL.light, compact,great optics.if you plan on spending alot of time behind them, buy an eye patch.A few months ago I picked up the Minox 15x58 ED binos (from Doug here) like them better for extended glassing.coues52
