Hey guys-
Been noticing over the last few months (years maybe?) that I dont ever use my spotting scope because I am always disappointed whenever I use it. I can usually see what I'm looking at through my binoculars more clearly and brighter. 90% of my hunting/scouting is glassing fields for deer or turkeys, so I'm not using it out west like most of you guys, but I plan to someday.
Anyways, the only scope I've owned is a Nikon ProStaff from about 6-8 years ago. It does not do well at lower light, and will hardly focus on higher power. It seems to get mixed reviews online, and people either rate is 5 stars or 1 star.
Is this how all spotting scopes are, or if I get something a little better, am I going to be happier with it?
I'm not spending $800+ on one because I just don't use them THAT much, but I was looking at the Vortex Diamondback line.
Also, can anyone give me some advice as to choosing straight-bodied vs angled?
