Mid range scope (1 Viewer)

[babists]

Hello,

I would like some advise. I was looking for a VFM mid range scope (around1000 € but I could give some extra euros if it's worth the money).I live in Greece so I have no chance to test scopes. I would like 20-60x magnification and 77mm or more. The size and weight of the scope, although it matters, it is not as important as the quality(sharpness, field of view and brightness). Reading many posts I was thinking about Opticron MM4 77 GA VHD with SDL V4 ZOOM 18-54xeyepiece that I could get (new one) for a lit bit less than 1300 €.I could found a new Vortex HD 27-60x85 for 1450 € and although itis over my budget I could make an exception if it is really worth it so i would like to hear an opinion about this also. But then I read about SVBONY SV406P 20-60x80 (or another SVBONY Idon't really get the difference between SV401, SV405 and SV406 and witch is better for birding) and I saw some incredible BKoh's photos (for such a cheap scope) in this post https://www.birdforum.net/threads/could-use-some-help-refining-my-spotting-scope-choice.421256/and I am wondering if it is so much worse than the two previews scopes for around 1/3 of the price. I have read many threads here but I can not decide yet which one I should purchase. I could not understand also the actual field of view comparison of the 3 scopes and FOV is a very important aspect for me. Also i would like to ask if there is any other scope for less than 1200 € that could do better than the ones i mention?
Thank you

$783 for Celestron Regal 100mm spotting scope with 22-67 eyepiece is a very good value. Check out the 31 reviews by owners of this scope.

The Regal M2 80ED, my unit, came with a very very stiff coarse focus wheel, on cold days it is almost impossible to move it. I have to breathe on it and it is still a pain.

Sig has a mid-range 1-10. You can find them for around $500 or so on sale. It comes with a mount.

The new MM4 VHD 77mm is a bargain - especially for such a high quality optic made in Japan. Buy that.

If you tell us what seems unclear I'm sure someone can explain it for you. Perhaps you could also describe your likely usage.

That is a zoom rifle scope??? You have the wrong forum.
