I want to purchase a spotting scope for my Dad. He has a backyard where he watches birds, deer, etc. The longest range he would need is around 200 yards. I’d like to get a fairly good one for a reasonable price. Any recommendations on magnification so he’s not disappointed?
The one that spots right !!!!!
If you go to the website for Cabelas or Bass Pro Shops you will find several spotting scopes. They have variable power and fixed power scopes. A variable is more versitile. Something with an upper end around 36x should be fine for 200 yards.
You might take a look at the BSA 20-60X60MM , they are a very good value $70-$80 , come with a hard case, tripod, and a rail mount so you could mount the spotting scope to a window or deck rail…..
there are plenty to choose from but for the money burris is a good choice they use good optics for even the lower end stuff.when buying optics everything is pretty much the same in any given pricerange except a few brands such as burris
