Curious on what I should be looking for? Im going in on it with a friend but curious on whats worth the money, what to stay the heck away from and hopefully there is something that has a good reputation for cost to value out there.

Im not a brand whore and like I said, our ranges are out to around 600 yards...well closer to 400yards now but 600 is a goal of both of ours at the moment. When/if we get past that one day we'll probably just give it to another new shooter and get something stronger for use if we even get that far.

I also notice some are straight on views and some are upwards at an angle and wondering if there is a difference?

This is strictly for shooting on a range so its not like super durability like hunting in a field is a factor.

Thanks you for the help.

Might help to give some range for a price wouldn't it? Bushnell Banners & Nikon Buckmasters are good low-Middle end scopes.

At 600yds and past, I don't need a spotting scope. I have the time to fire and get back into battery to see my hit on the target or miss on the berm. A high quality 20x scope will be better than a cheap 60x scope.

Dude lol I was totally in the wrong area. I thought he was looking for scopes. I read your post and was like WTF??? lol Sorry my bad...The celestron has become pretty popular as a low-mid range Spotting scope.
