I'm interested to see what other folks are using for their spotting scope, for me I've been quite happy with my swaro 65mm with 25-50 eyepiece....how about you?

Vortex viper 65mm non-hd...my first spotter and I'm happy with it, but I can definitely see that I'm going to want to upgrade at some point down the road.

Picked up Ryans Meopta S2 82 HD. Just using it in town to check it out and I'm impressed. Can't wait to see what it will do in a harsh optical environment .

Just upgraded to an angled Swaro 65mm 20-60x. Probably gonna add a 50mm Razor at some point for archery Mule Deer hunting.

In Arizona hunting Cous Deer I learned from the locals that big spotters are nice but all the locals I hunted with use vortex kaibabs. Our swaro 15x56, so after my experience in AZ I went to 15x50's my go to is my vortex 15x50's they have been great. Someday I might jump to a nice spotter. But right now i haven't had a need...

Zeiss Diascope 85mm 20-75X eyepiece. Its a heavy thing, but 75X when the conditions allow is nice!

Using Vortex Razor 11-33x50mm (angled eye piece) for a few months now. I have really been enjoying this little spotter. Excellent clarity, lightweight at 25 oz. It lives in my pack so lightweight is important. I also like the micro-adjust focus feature and smooth magnification adjustment. Sure, it's a trade-off with the top-end magnification spotters, but one I'm willing to accept for lightweight portability; and reasonable price-for-performance.

Had a 65 mm Viper HD but wasn't impressed with the higher magnifications. Now I run the little 11-33 x 50 and have been very impressed. I still need a bigger spotter when funds allow.... May pick up some 15x binos first to run off the tripod.
