Title: Nikon ProStaff spotting scope...20x60x82mm
Post by: Wacenturion on July 31, 2008, 02:08:38 PM

Anyone have one they use or have used one.....your thoughts.  Trying to decide on a new scope before fall and so far for the money I like this one the best.  A little bigger to pack when I decide to do so, but the low light gathering ability I feel is worth it.
Any review or other comparison scopes in the price range $599 that you feel are better...I would appreciate your comments.
Thanks

You know I've been looking at the same scope.  All the reviews I've read have been great.  Looked at them while visiting Sportsman's the other day.  Really bright and clear.  I'm just waiting for the right Ebay price.

If you're willing to go eBay, then be patient.. Very, very patient.  for going just a bit higher in the price range ($800) I was able to get a Nikon ED 82mm AND an eye piece.  That's a steal of a deal even for eBay, but I'm sure glad I'm not in the $500-700 range of scope.  It really is worth it to have ED glass if you want to spend hours and hours looking through a spotter.  Best luck to both of you.

I have one and couldn't be happier.  the clarity is awesome with the 82mm objective you also get a better/more brawed view.

Finally got one...Nikon 20x60x82mm, brand new in the box, camo kit...scope, tripod and window mount with shipping for a total of $477.  Saved $285 off what I would have had to pay at Cabelas with tax.
Really like that scope....and got a great deal.
