but not insanely high prise

I have a Wind River spotting scope, which is made by/for Leupold. I've had it for several years and it has served me well. Not sure what your price range is, but you can get the Wind River for around $250.

Leupold Sequoia 20-60x80 Spotting Scope will run you about $500 dollars. I have been looking for a reasonable spotting scope for sometime now and will not settle for crap. Leupold is just about the only scope out there that will be totally fogproof and waterproof. Dont let water resistant fool you! Water resistant is just plain garbag. When I was first looking at the cheaper ones ($99-200 dollar range) I read tons of reviews and most said that they were just terrible to look when using the higher power/spotting at further ranges (thats what we are using a spottin scope for in the first place). Plus you wont find a fogproof and waterproof scope in these cheaper ranges, unless you get an older leupold. If its quality your looking for then I would have to say your going to spend at least around $325-350 dollars, but if your willing to settle for quantity then any scope will fill that need. I just dont have the money to keep making mistakes buying junk and later trying to make up for my earlier mistakes. Good luck, any Leupold should be nice and that is what I am leaning on getting.

$412.00 dollars at Opticsplanet.com for this scope W/free shipping.
