I go on a hunting trip out west every year ( open country). I want to buy a spotting scope for hunting trips out west and for hunting in michigan (open and closed country). I dont want to spend an arm and a leg but I willing to spend $500 to $600. I was looking between the leupold gold ring 15-30×50 the nikon prostaff 16-48×65 and the nikon spotter XL2 16-48×60. I am open to all different spotting scopes. What do you hunters and bird watchers think? What do you use?

Which one is right for me? Telescope vs Binocular vs Spotting Scope?

It will be mainly used in open field/country side and in mountain areas for simply observing things such as animals, cars, people etc. It will also be used to watch the night sky.
I need something powerful enough to see the mars or objects far away on earth and at the same time with clear picture. I guess the zooming power is the priority.

Size isn’t important.

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?
