Burris Spoting scope.
« on: July 06, 2010, 07:05:16 PM »
So I know what the best scope is but I simply cannot afford one. I by no means am a rich man. I was looking at the new cabelas and they have a 20x60  with 80 mm. I have a couple of there scopes and like them alot. has anyone had experience with them?
If its brown knock it down

I have a Burris 20X60X80 spotter. I like you was on a budget (small one) and found that for the money it was tops at the time. I feel it is fairly clear and does what I need it to do. I am not trying to count hairs on a goat at two miles. I like mine and use it a lot. In fact I will be using it for the next five day's looking at critters around Sullivan lake. I would not hesitate to buy another if the situation was the same.

Mine has the hard case and tripod that came with it.
Smoke em when ya see em!

I've only used one burris product a landmark 15x45x60, I used it two seasons.
What a POS in dim light, the 80mm might be better but before buying one I'd want to check it out in twilight.

The Landmark in the power range your looking at is currently on sale for $250.  It seams like a great scope, and i have looked threw it at twilight and it seams to be good glass.  Its clear and you may not be able to count hairs at a mile, buy you can cout horns and antler points at 600 yards!!  I would highly recommend the Landmark over the High Country model, its another $50 but much better glass and you get the case and and tripod with is worth the $50 right there. 

I do have a question for you.  Why do you want the 20-60 power?  That scope/magnification will be great up to about 40 power.  But after that, unless you have a day with no wind, you may have a lot of issues with holing it steady.  Just a light breeze will make it move all over the place  :twocents:

Don't get me wrong, if i had the $500 or more to spend on a better spotting scope I would, but like you I was crunched for cash....and I wont tell you how I got one for $105  :)
