I tried searching to avoid asking this question but I’m struggling to find a good thread on the subject so hoping you can help.
Here’s what I’m looking for, a high quality used scope in the 60-80mm objective range and a scope that has high optical qualities and very good low light performance. I will use the scope for viewing wildlife in the late evening but also some birding.
A bigger name scope like zeiss, Swarovski, hold their value too well so I’m looking for older and or lesser known scopes with high performance characteristics that I might be able to pick up at a bargain. I’m. It sure what my budget is, maybe up to $250-500 ish. I saw one thread suggesting a kowa tsn613 as an example of what I might be looking for but would like to see more evidence this is a great scope but also, need to be able to find. None on eBay when I looked.
Thank you for the suggestions, look forward to what and why you recommend what you do.
