Hey there,
Having become more interested in birding the past couple years, I think I need to move up to a better scope. I have been using two inexpensive BSA scopes that I use for shooting, a 12-36X and a 20-60X. The 20-60X is a completely awful unless at 20X, what a waste, might as well look at mud. The 12-36X is useable, but is not very bright and resolution suffers past 24X. Neither are waterproof.
I have read the reviews of the Raven, and they are not glowing, I know that it doesn't have the best resolution at it's top magnification, but, my current scopes are neither BaK or fully multi-coated. Considering that I am on a very tight budget, and am looking for a scope that is waterproof, my question is:
Will I see a marked improvement in resolution and brightness at 24X with the Raven, compared to what I have now?
Keep looking up...or down..or wherever they are...
