Krakkon Seasoned Member Registered: 10/07/08 Posts: 303 Loc: Billings MT	Heya guys after my trip to Fort Peck hunting mule deer i decided a spotting scope is a must... What would be the best bang for the buck under $800? Thanks for the info in advance.

You can get them at Sportsmans Warehouse, Big Bear. _________________________ Ordinary men can do Extrodinary things... Always looking for Bridger traps...

I have a 7x50 binoc's from Swarovski, and it is awsome glass. You will not believe the difference, ie: I have Nikon Monark 10x40, a very good binc, which will show you the deer coming out of the woods, the Swaro will show you the deer in the woods. This will require overtime work when "O" gets the economy cranked up, you think? At least for me. Jim
