For the use you described that scope sounds like about $1500 overkill. You may be way ahead to go with a $500 Nikon/Vortex/Whatever. Make sure you will use it enough to justify the expense, figure out if you like straight or angled, what power range suits you best. I live out west and the only spotter I regularly use is a 1980's Leupold Gold ring 20x50. Sure there are bigger and better, but this little spotter is super handy - 20X is about all I can use from field positions with a lightweight tripod and best of all this one actually goes with me instead of sitting in the truck.
