So, I'm in the market for a spotting scope - either new or used. But I don't have thousands of dollars to spend.
What are your thoughts on makes, models, brands? Price ranges? I'll be hunting with long distances in mind and plan to carry it with me in my hunting pack as well as use at the shooting range.
Suggestions for someone who knows very little on this topic? 
I hate to say it, but the guy at Sportco at the optics counter with glasses, and always wearing his hat knows his stuff. Go see him, he will let you look through them out the window, and give you his opinion on them.
