Went to Sportsman's Whorehouse (or whatever they're called now) the other day and looked at the Leupold Sequoia and the Nikon Prostaff side by side.  You guys are right, what a disappointment the Leupold was.  WHacker's right, not any better than my $150 Alpen. I will probably wind up getting the Nikon eventually, but used ones don't seem to exist, so I am saving.  grrrrrr..... probably $150 more than I was planning on spending....

That's a good sign, if you can't find any used ones. That means that everyone is happy with theirs.

I love spotting scopes, and having a crappy one, really only adds weight to your pack, buying a nice one is important in my opinion.  My dad has a Swaro I am always borrowing from him, and use it all the time when hunting.  Opening weekend of deer this year, I left it in the truck, because I already had quite abit of gear for 4 days, and it cost me a deer that I am almost sure was a nice buck.  Never again.
I would rather be a conservative nut job, than a liberal with no nuts, and no job!
