Looking to spend $500 to $600 on spotting scope. Maybe a little more if necessary. Whats best I could get for my money? Also if have any recommendation on tripod let’s hear it. Thanks
Spend a week looking through good glass and you’ll appreciate it.
LOL.
Post up your good glass.
It'll be fun, poser.
I bet that his glass pile probably smokes anything you own fatass. If your weren’t such a retard you would have seen him post a pile of optics boxes in another thread. A bunch of Nxs, Atacr, Swaro and Leica hdb boxes to name a few.
Sorry no leupolds you’re so keen on we’re shown though he may have a few somewhere.
Ohh fat Johnnie has a Swaro spotter. Gee so do I dipshit and I wouldn’t be surprised if Rekobeez does as well.
Wanna place a wager as to if Rekobeez has one as well before he logs on and sees your drivel and posts a spotter pic?
Then you double down on your stupidity posting a pic of a rifle you built with a vx3 and a ram you didn’t shoot. Rekobeez posted Nxs and Atacr boxes which anyone with half a brain knows smokes your leupolds.
What ya say Burns? Lay the odds on Rekobeez spotter fatty.

ReekingGirl can have 1 million spotters.
She is still a poser like you.
Post field pictures, you wanna be never done nothin whiner.
As I figured you are a pussy who opened your mouth with your usual drivel and when called on it backtracked like the bitch you are. You said he didn’t have quality glass and when proven and asked to place a wager you change the topic.
Doesn’t take much to find pics of game I’ve taken posted here or posts by other members that have actually hunted with me personally and you won’t find a bad word spoken about me.
But again that wasn’t the topic at hand here and once again you’re attempting to twist the post after you couldn’t back up your idiotic claims.
Johnny Johnny Johnny! It’s clear that you have some but hurt that vodka and cheeseburgers can’t fix! Does Leupold make spotting scopes? LOL see what I did there. TFF.

That’s not his spotter! He can’t afford quality equipment.

Maven sells direct so typically you get a bit better optic.
I have 4 of their rifle scopes and the big 80mm spotter.
Looks like the 65mm spotter is in your price range.

There aren't any spotters that I would give a resounding recommendation for under a $1000.
Having said that if you are looking for something to see holes in the target and absolutely limited to $600 than I would call Doug and find a open box Athlon. At least the Athlons have a lifetime warranty.
With apologies to Doug I was not impressed at all with the previous generation(s) of Athlon spotters but I have heard the current generation are better.

It's never not funny when a pompus azz falls for one of maser's sock puppets.
You were lappin up what maser was putting down. Followed him around like a puppy.
But you now lying like a liar does add a bit of hilarity to and already hilarious thread.
Congradulations?
Please show me where anything I have posted is a lie and I will gladly rub your nose in it yet again. You claimed your spotter was superior to Rebobeez so I called your bluff.
I posted my Swaro just as I said I owned.
Offer still stands Johnnie Boy. Wanna wager $100, $200, $500 hell you can name the bet on if Rekobeez owns a Swaro spotter? Wanna go as far as loser logs out and never comes back?
Name the wager and I’ll cover it gladly based on seeing his scope box pile so I feel safe in my position.
Though everyone here including yourself knows you wouldn’t pay up if wrong.
So who’s lying and who is afraid to make a bet to back up their assertion. Seems you have 2 choices, 1. Man up and take your chances or 2. Chicken out and just keep running your cock holster about things you don’t know.
I’ll take that to mean your boyfriend wouldn’t allow you to risk any of his money so your going to go out like a little bitch just like drunk Johnny did. Good talk champ!

Doubling down on a maser sockpuppet?
Define the parameters of your bet.
Rektbutmaser will need undeniable proof prior to the thread.
Rektbutmaser will need undeniable proof prior to the thread.
Don't want you loaning him a spotter.
Name the wager then feel free to set any reasonable parameters you wish to ensure that I didn’t loan him my spotter.
My only Swaro spotter is the 80hd pictured that I bought new. I have the factory box for the scope and eyepiece with serial numbers and will post same if Rekobeez posts an hd80.

LOL.
You called the bet you lay out the parameters in detail. Don't ask me to define your bet you whining puzzy.
My neighbors on the next county road over are Optical Loonies Extraordinaire. Among their collection they have both the 65mm and 95mm bodies, and the single eyepiece and the bino eyepiece. I've had the opportunity to spend some time on their deck with that glass, watching critters on the BLM ground up the canyon in front of my house. The bino eyepiece makes peering through a spotter a whole better world. To call them heavy and bulky would be an understatement though....
It’s simple Burnsie. $500 (or you choose an amount) that Rekobeez owns a Swaro spotter. If he posts a picture of an hd 80 I will produce my serial numbers, any other Swaro you lose. If Rekobeez has an hd80 and wont produce his serial number to confirm it isn’t mine then it’s a wash.

Fell free to add as needed before hand.
LOL.
maser's sock puppet can steal pics of the internet just like Roundoak.
Do better.
Rektbutt is a sockpuppet.
We all know it but you fell for his schtick.
In the field prior to this thread with Reckbutt in the picture. As you said he already has a history of posting pictures.

Or not.
Unfortunately neither of us can compel Rekobeez to post a pic of himself as he clearly has chosen not to do so prior. But also not surprised you would accuse the guy of stealing off the net as excuses is about your only option left.
A simple pic with a note showing date and time would suffice for any normal man to know it was real but I’m sure you will demand more.
You’re doing a great job of trying to save face and worm out of a simple bet via adding terms/demands of a 3rd parties actions that has no skin in the bet.
But again everyone here including yourself knew you wouldn’t make the bet or would try to wriggle out of it on some minuscule technicality you’ll dream up.
Simple bet, we both put up $500 (or any amount you choose) via Venmo or PayPal etc to a neutral party like Rick Bin to hold. If Rekobeez posts any Swaro spotter besides an hd80 with the same serial number as mine (will provide proof of my serial number to the money holder before hand) I win. If it’s literally any other brand of spotter you win.
Alpineprick told me recently I lived vicariously through Sticks post.... guess I will have to add Ricks to my wish list.... hahahahahhahahaha
You are far from the first and will not be the last.
I know.... I wished I lived in the barrio in New Mexico... or maybe man camp on the North slope.... I am really missing out
Yeah like the view through Swaro 80mm binos.
And lots of long range targets.
That said it's nice you are happy at your lower station in life.
Enjoy.
I guess if you are going to attach your self worth to an object... a Swarovski is better than an Athlon... does Stick know this? he has doctor wages ya know...

You are slowly realizing RektButt is just another maser sockpuppet.
Posting a picture of a simple Swaro hardly confirms ownership or useage. Roundoak can tell you all about stealing pictures. But I suspect you don't need much advice.
But you know this and now realize your alligator mouth done hauled your puzzy azz into a situtation with now good way out.

How about it RektButt maser?
Not my alligator mouth at all drunkard, you’re the one bitching out with adding several terms. If you’re so sure I’m wrong you would have made the bet, but you know I’m likely not!
You see I too think Rekobeez may be a sock puppet and I have a decent idea of about 4-5 people that he could possibly be. I also that know that most if not all own Swaro spotters and I believe only 1 has an 80HD like mine. All of those people over the years have numerous pics here that include said spotters.
So it stands you made another dumbass claim and when called on it went out like a bitch and no amount of twisting will convince anyone otherwise. I was willing to take the chance, you talked schittt then ran like a bitch for all to see. Telling……..

I have not run anywhere and still waiting for you to post your bet that includes parameters that are real.
You know RektButt is a sockpuppet liar but then expect me to believe a simple picture of a Swaro proves your silly claim?
BullSchiet. RektButt maser had you hook line and sinker because you're a dumbazz loudmouth.
The bet is on but you and RektButt will need undeniable proof of prior ownership.

I'll give you a week.
Clocks tickin, BIOTCH.
So it’s clear to everyone you confirm that the bet is $500 that Rekobeez actually has a Swaro spotter as I say he does?
Considering he hasn’t posted his face what do you consider undeniable proof? Pic of spotter with current date and time and another pic of it in use in the field suffice for you?
Clarify what you consider undeniable proof and let’s get after it.

You want in for $500 as well loud mouth or just gonna continue to run your mouth and trip over your dick to suck your idol Burns’s ass?
Smart move by Gin Blossom not to clarify his version of undeniable proof for all to see lest he may actually have to pay up or admit to being a bitch when he doesn’t.

As I said in the other thread at this points any pic by Rekobeez of a Swaro spotter out hunting is a win for me since you won’t publicly define your version of undeniable proof.
The bet was $500, if you won’t define your version of proof up front then any simple pic is a win. You don’t get to continually move the goal posts to suit yourself.

Who is RektButt? maser sockpuppet.
Let see proof.
You been drinking too much Renegade50 Malt Liquor.
Hookin lips on the CF is a bit harder than the local trout pond.
Yet I do it on a regular basis.
Just for fun.
Just Sayin.
The only one hooked here is you, sad thing is everyone but you probably saw that coming. Luckily RC had a moment of clarity and didn’t wade into you mess with his wallet.
Seeing as how Rekobeez posted his spotter and it’s appears to be a Swaro 65, not an 80hd like mine you owe me $500 Gin Blossoms.
Rekobeez pic proves he had a Swaro 65 over 5 years ago. He met your posted proof standards of a field pic taken prior to this bet being placed as he surely can’t fake the iPhone date stamp from his photo album and has posted multiple pics of same spotter.
I wonder what his buddy Kyle thinks about his posts on here. Or better yet, Could you imagine having a guy like this as a business partner. What a great guy.

I don’t know Kyle but have buddies who know him well (sorry Burns no name drops here) and from the stories I’m told I doubt he would take kindly to Burns ways and using his name here. Seems from those in the know that Kyle is a good honest man who doesn’t suffer fools and liars.
Probably why he didn’t go on Burns sponsored hunt on 11/28z
You boys will have better luck pole vaulting 20 ft in the next Olympic games than getting those two brokedickks to pay anything. Lipservice is all they've got. Looks like game, set, match.
Imagine being such a dumbfuqk as to believe a real person like John Burns would enter into a bet with two anonymous douche bags on the internet who post under fake screen names and whom he’s never met and trust that the photos they post are credible and actually prove something
I must say it's rather fascinating watching John head down the same path here at the campfire that Big Stick has blazed, and little Ricky is taggin along.... crazy stuff Next I suspect John will be spouting lines like "wares that exist" hint.... lmao

Fact is your butt buddy called a bet and welched on it. That your support such behavior is telling of your morals as well.
For the record, I have not only met John but had a discussion with him at Shot when he was still with BOW before I figured out there were better rifles for cheaper.
And how am I anonymous when I’ve been here for years and met/hunted with several members who know my name and phone number. Hell a handful even know my address and my family.

It doesn't take much to instigate a schit show on the optics forum!
The question being, why is that? why are people so emotionally invested in optics?
I have a theory.... they spend thousands on plastic tubes with glass lenses in each end... they know they got duped... and have to defend themselves...
I tried some Swaro bino's once, they were awful , only optic to ever fail me during a hunt. Sent them in for repairs, and the great warranty was it cost me as much to have them repaired as I paid for them... I sold them to the next guy and bought 2 pair of Chinese binoculars with the money. The Chink crap has been great, clearer and haven't broke down yet...
But I don't tie my self worth to objects I buy, objects I build, yes at times... not stuff I buy, the whole fanboy thing is foolish in my view

Fuqking HILARIOUS!!!
I wasn't laughing when it happened..... not the first time I have listened to the fanboys and been sorely disappointed... I try hard not to make that mistake anymore. One of the tricks is identifying the fanboys
GregW of the forum silently kills quantities and extremely high quality game. His Swarovski CS experience is a schittttshow, several times in fact. I like 'em but they're not perfect.

Yep Johnny, I posted here my Swaro tales a couple years back and GregW participated and shared his poor experiences with them also. Fanboys don't like that sort of thing

You're sure right about that. They're all just tools to me anyway and that includes my rifles. I like what's been proven to me to work for what I'm doing. Insecurities run deep around here for sure.
I’m more interested in whe security system Ricky uses to keep that Swarovski spotter safe when he’s not home. Ricky that’s not a reservation by chance?

I may or may not have met Rekobeez, can’t say for sure. Fact is he met your boyfriends parameters and he welched.

Give it up Burns it’s over and you lost but your ego won’t allow you to admit it and your lack or morals won’t convince you to pay up.
Rekobeez posted a pic with current date and time and a 5+ year old date and time stamped pic of his Swaro spotter just as you asked for proof of prior ownership and you’re still swinging.
Literally everyone else already sees you lost. You set the parameters and even though met we all know you won’t pay up.
Funny Burns it’s over and you lost but your ego won’t allow you to admit it and your lack or morals won’t convince you to pay up.
You’re the only one that thinks you’re winning. Rekobeez posted a pic with current date and time and a 5+ year old date and time stamped pic of his Swaro spotter just as you asked for proof of prior ownership and you’re still swinging.

In the field prior to this thread with Rektbutt in the picture. As you said he already has a history of posting pictures.
The bet is on but you and RektButt will need undeniable proof of prior ownership.
I'll give you a week.
Clocks tickin, BIOTCH.
Nice try moving to goal post Johnny but another fail. Your quote says “undeniable proof”. As I previously said neither of us can compel Rekobeez to post his face.
Rekobeez current date and time stamped pic with your name on it and the time stamped iPhone pic from 5 years ago clearly proves prior ownership.
Like I said everyone knows you lost but you apparently.
In the field prior to this thread with Rektbutt in the picture. As you said he already has a history of posting pictures.
Or not.
Predictable back tracking Burns. “in the field with his face” was never agreed to as I said repeatedly prior to his posting, “undeniable proof” was agreed to and Rekobeez posted same.
You’re really think guys have 5 year old pics of someone else spotter just chilling on their phone in the middle of the night?
Your claims they are stolen pics would be easy to prove with image searches but I’m sure you tried that and came up empty.
The fact your keep trying to weasel out of the bet when even you know you lost is pathetic.
Screenshots showing you initially mention “in the field” and then later stating “undeniable proof” which I agreed to so you can’t edit your posts to weasel further.
If a current and 5 year old time and date stamped pics isn’t proof of prior ownership then nothing is.
The fact your keep trying to weasel out of the bet when even you know you lost is pathetic.
Do you routinely make bets or do business based on imaginary people?
Clown world
Only clowns here are you and Burns, problem is you both think you’re doing so well while everyone else knows the truth.
And who’s imaginary? Seems Reekobeez replies just fine so he must be a living/breathing person.
It just chaps your ass that others have a good idea who he is and you don’t. It probably sucks to be the only person not in on something but I’m betting that’s par for the course for you.
I've already got a few spotters but I'm interested in folks who have the Athlon and not about this other stuff I can't make heads or tales of. Hopefully the OP can fit something to his budget.

Oh trust me I’m very real and while I have no interest in your opinion I do find it entertaining that you’re the ghetto rat with his chin up. LOL
Strange that you know backstories on old members like safariman but you just joined a month or two ago.
Fuqkface
Maybe Rekobeez is an active reader.
Safariman is only mentioned ten times a week on this forum. Seems that anyone with two brain cells would read up on things that they are interested in.

Pretty sure he was referring to this. Look close the box for my spotter is in there. You owe the man 500$ Johnny it’s simple you lost!
Yep being a Swaro spotter owner myself the top left box is clearly a Swaro spotter box. And in a picture posted before the bet was ever even mentioned.
He wanted “undeniable proof”. Apparently the time stamped and signed pic with his name in it, the 5 year old date and time stamped iPhone pic and a pic from another thread that happened to have your spotter box in it don’t equal his version of “undeniable proof”.
Though Burns will yet again try to claim it isn’t yours…….
Spend a week looking through good glass and you’ll appreciate it.
LOL.
Post up your good glass.
It'll be fun, poser.
I bet that his glass pile probably smokes anything you own fatass. If your weren’t such a retard you would have seen him post a pile of optics boxes in another thread. A bunch of Nxs, Atacr, Swaro and Leica hdb boxes to name a few.
Sorry no leupolds you’re so keen on we’re shown though he may have a few somewhere.

LOL someone lost a bet!
Yep, I literally told him in that very post that you had posted a pic including Swaro boxes yet he wouldn’t back down and clearly didn’t look at that pic and even doubled down on his stupidity.
In the field prior to this thread with Rektbutt in the picture. As you said he already has a history of posting pictures.
Or not.
Again Gin Blossoms the bet was never in the field, it was undeniable proof per your statement. Also you admit in this very quote above that you were aware of the pic posted in the Arken thread. Gee dumbass that pic has a Swaro spotter box in it that now everyone who looks and even your own demented ass can freely see.
Rekobeez could post 100 pics of the same spotter and you will still claim it’s fake.
But keep cutting and pasting the same post/meme Burnsie, You and RC are the only ones here that think you’re winning.

All Burns has to do is admit he lost as everyone already knows and the beatings would end. I knew from the get go his morals would never allow him to actually pay up.
Please show me where anything I have posted is a lie and I will gladly rub your nose in it yet again. You claimed your spotter was superior to Rebobeez so I called your bluff.
I posted my Swaro just as I said I owned.
Offer still stands Johnnie Boy. Wanna wager $100, $200, $500 hell you can name the bet on if Rekobeez owns a Swaro spotter? Wanna go as far as loser logs out and never comes back?
Name the wager and I’ll cover it gladly based on seeing his scope box pile so I feel safe in my position.
Though everyone here including yourself knows you wouldn’t pay up if wrong.
So who’s lying and who is afraid to make a bet to back up their assertion. Seems you have 2 choices, 1. Man up and take your chances or 2. Chicken out and just keep running your cock holster about things you don’t know.
Doubling down on a maser sockpuppet?
Define the parameters of your bet.
Rektbutmaser will need undeniable proof prior to the thread.

Don't want you loaning him a spotter.
Indeed that was the parameters of the bet that we both agreed upon.
I even gave him a second chance to quit when I wrote “ Name the wager and I’ll cover it gladly based on seeing his scope box pile so I feel safe in my position.”
All he had to do was check the pic and back down but his ego couldn't stand to be wrong.
A good tripod can make a ok spotter good and a good spotter great.
Yup, the quality of the tripod is paramount
I hate to turn this disaster into anything productive, but I am interested in the why of this. Is it that a cheap tripod vibrates ever so slightly, blurring the image?

Yes, whatever power the spotter is set to, say 40x, that vibration is magnified 40 times
That wasn’t the agreed parameter as was already proven by screen shots of your posts but you keep posting it why?
Not my fault your were probably balls deep in a 1/2 gallon of gin and a Thai lady boy when you agreed but you set the agreed parameter and a bet is a bet.
Even your life partner RC agreed you set the parameter and it was met by Rekobeez.
But keep posting the same meme and BS as it’s the only move your bipolar ass has left. The only smashing you’re doing is to the little bit of reputation you have left.

Would a good tripod elevate the game of that Athlon Talos 20-60x80 that I bought from you enough to justify it? I use it very casually for spotting targets and a little wildlife viewing when I go out west.

Go figure you would post only the screenshot where you offered in the field. Try posting the later screenshot from that same post where we actually agreed to undeniable.
The 2 screenshots were posted to prove the time line of the parameters that you offered and I accepted.
You lost loser now pay up or keep being the campfires biggest gash.
Good Gawd, man. Drop it....He's got you by the azz.
Actually I posted the spotter box the day before the bet and would be happy to verify the serial numbers to match said box. Donny enjoy living someone else’s dream.
Not my alligator mouth at all drunkard, you’re the one bitching out with adding several terms. If you’re so sure I’m wrong you would have made the bet, but you know I’m likely not!
You see I too think Rekobeez may be a sock puppet and I have a decent idea of about 4-5 people that he could possibly be. I also that know that most if not all own Swaro spotters and I believe only 1 has an 80HD. All of those people over the years have numerous pics here that include said spotters.
So it stands you made another dumbass claim and when called on it went out like a bitch and no amount of twisting will convince anyone otherwise. I was willing to take the chance, you talked schittt then ran like a bitch for all to see. Telling……..
I have not run anywhere and still waiting for you to post your bet that includes parameters that are real.
You know RektButt is a sockpuppet liar but then expect me to believe a simple picture of a Swaro proves your silly claim?
BullSchiet. RektButt maser had you hook line and sinker because you're a dumbazz loudmouth.
The bet is on but you and RektButt will need undeniable proof of prior ownership.
I'll give you a week.
Clocks tickin, BIOTCH.
Again here was the agreed parameter of the bet and Rekobeez hit it out of the park and yet your still trying to use a previous post that wasn’t what we agreed upon.
Good Gawd, man. Drop it....He's got you by the azz.
Huh?
Huh? Burns has those two spooled up so bad, that even if they 'won', was the prize really worth coming off looking like jeffo chasing 'stick with 'post yer load'....
Junking up the forum with this kind of petty bullshit makes me lose respect for guys that I really used to like around here. YMMV....

Donny you have always been someone else’s CÚNT so it’s no surprise that you jump on with your stop clutter the forum, higher than BS. Ranch manager is code for share cropper, I truly enjoy your want to have a pair.

Interesting... you don't see Burns as being accountable? he is stinkin up multiple threads... common denominator kinda thing
Oh some times you should just keep your mouth shut and keep polishing those rugers. You obviously were hoping, Johnny gin, might teach you the reverse kneeling and sponsor you on the over retirement age but can’t because of poor life choices hunt. Enjoy!!
Now I am really confused... when I smashed you hard a few months ago you squealed like a pig...
What?
This was you a few months back. Being all passive dick sucker.

I will go through your website to purchase and if I like it I will give you kudos here on the fire. Thanks again and take care,

Would a good tripod elevate the game of that Athlon Talos 20-60x80 that I bought from you enough to justify it? I use it very casually for spotting targets and a little wildlife viewing when I go out west.
It would make it better for sure, however, it is limited to the quality that it is
May be hard to believe but, after owning many tripod the best, most rugged one I have found is this from Amazon.
Heavy, not for backpacking. Works great with my monster Athlon.

Looking to spend $500 to $600 on spotting scope. Maybe a little more if necessary. Whats best I could get for my money? Also if have any recommendation on tripod let’s hear it. Thanks

I just called and talked to Joel. I ordered the second one. I am assuming that even though it says "video" head that it will work with a spotting scope.

Great, Larry Root has another handle.
Yep. Running multiple.
Be fun to have a sticky tracking the iterations. Between Larry and Scott it would stay busy.
I just called and talked to Joel. I ordered the second one. I am assuming that even though it says "video" head that it will work with a spotting scope.
I recently got that Slik 824 from CLNY. It should be steady and suitable for glassing while sitting, but a little short while standing without extending the center column. I prefer a fluid video head with handle while glassing in a grid pattern.

After 15 pages of replies, did you get some good recommendations on a scope and legs?!

Just got it in. I didn't have to extend the head at all for standing. In fact, I lowered the legs a little bit. I am 5'11" FWIW. It is very nice. I am grateful that it was recommended.
