The BalscopeSR is a classic, one of the finest in my opinion. The 60x lens is kinda useless, 30x is the one that's most practical/useful. The set as pictured is probably worth $350.00 +/-.
Are you guys talking about the eyepiece being 30x, such as a scope like this: 30 eyepiece x 60mm lens in front?
I was looking through 2 Vortex spotting scopes yesterday, one had a 20-60 x 60mm lens, and the other a 20-60 x 80mm. Both were very clear all the way to 60x, but the one with the biggest lens up front (80mm) was clearer as it got darker, although hard to tell. But then, the air in Alaska is crystal clear, so maybe that's why I could not tell the difference. Now, there is a clear difference between a very expensive Swarovski scope of the same magnification and the $400.00 to $600.00 Vortex. But I don't want to pay nearly $2K for a spotting scope I mostly use at the firing range.
