Hello! I was wondering if any of you have used the Vortex Viper HD 20-60x85? I might get this as my first spotting scope, but I'm still not sure. What are your thoughts on it?
 
Have you considered the Athlon Ares G2 UHD 20-60x85?

Hi, I have also been considering this spotting scope. Did you get one, and if so, what’s your experience of it been?
