I love that you’re honest as to why you’re posting! Most new guys reply in a thread by saying “following”, when there’s a follow button at the top of the page lol. Welcome to the ‘slide!

Would someone remind me which spotting scope the instructors preferred at the class? A Leupold.... It had great eye relief. But I don't remember the model

I believe it is the Leupold Mark4 Spotter with the Horus H32 reticle.

Maybe this one or something similar?

MARK 4 12-40X60mm Inverted H-32

The Mark 4® 12-40x60mm tactical spotting scope with the Inverted H-32® reticle gives you the brightness and clarity necessary for positive target identification in any conditions. Built to survive shocks, blows, drops, and impacts, it's not only tough, it's also 100% waterproof and fogproof.

Would you mind providing a couple of educational bullet points on why this one specifically?

Would you mind providing a couple of educational bullet points on why this one specifically?

-Good glass
-Best eye relief of all spotters
-Durable
-H32 reticle because it doesn’t cover the center of the FOV up.


The eye relief is the big thing. Most/nearly all do not even notice that either they have to bury their eye socket into their spotter to get a full FOV, or they just subconsciously accept a smaller FOV and pull their eye away from the eyepiece. I’ve checked in most S2H course and somewhere around 90% of people have to touch the eyepiece at minimum to o get a full FOV. It’s flipping awful and is baffling why companies don’t address it.

That's great info, thank you. Was wondering about why the H32 specifically, and the eye-relief thing is doubly problematic in wearing glasses, so that makes a lot of sense. Appreciate the detail.

FWIW, the gold rings are some of the “easiest to sit behind” spotters I’ve ever used in my life.
