Shoe string budget. $1000 CDN max! This is for watching shore birds, waterfowl and possibly raptors sometimes. Id like a scope thats built well and also good optics. Im an eyeglass wearer so good ER is important. Im sticking to my budget because every just spend a little more turns into looking at scopes 2 or 3 times the price. I made a similar post for help with chosing bins recently and I ended up getting the Zeiss Conquest 8x42's and they are great. Anyways heres my picks, what would you choose?
1. Pentax PF 65 ED ii + Pentax XW14 eyepiece
2. Vortex Viper HD 65mm the newer dark green version
3. Kowa 602 + Kowa TE14WD 30X eyepiece
Ive been doing allot of reading lately on these models. I cant really spend more than the $1000. But i want something half decent that wont break on me prematurely. Please let me know what you guys think.
Thanks
