Binoculars or a good spotting or field scope?
05/03/08 07:15 PM

Hi all,

I've been doing a load of research lately for a decent pair of binoculars but a friend of mine mentioned the other day about checking out a decent spotting scope with an aperture of 80mm and a possibility of 60X.

What do you think to this suggestion? Can you still get decent views through it? I know its slightly less versatile than a pair of binoculars but it sounds interesting.

All words greatly appreciated.
