I am looking to upgrading my hunting spotting scope. I live in MT and will use it primarily for deer and elk. Although I have the wants (like most of us) to chase sheep and goats someday.
I am looking for recommendations for glass quality and magnification while taking in mind portability. Although I want to be mindful of expense, I don't mind spending more (up to 3K) if the quality is worth it.
While I am at it, any suggestions for a tripod and adjustable head are appreciated.
Thank you for your time and thoughts in advance.

Myself and a very good friend use 65mm Vortex Razor's

His Outdoorsman tripod with the pistol grip is way nicer to use than My Sirui tripod and ball head but mine folds up more compact

I've been really happy with my 85mm Razor, but enough guys talk highly of the Meopta S2, that I'd probably go that direction if I were buying a spotter today.
