Looking for a quality spotting scope in the$1000-1400 area that is light enough to take sheep hunting tough and fairly compact?
Thinking hard about this scope.

I'd probably get a proven Leupold Gold Ring HD for that hunt and money. It is the toughest spotter going, great glass, with the best eye relief.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Forget zeiss if you wear glasses. Eye relief is extremely short too bad I would be interested other wise. Instead you should focus on a scope that accomodates your glasses. For me that is leupold gold ring meopta s2 vortex viper there might be some others but none of the big 3 have a scope that works for me. Pentax may be worth a look but I have never seen one
