So for a hundred years I’ve been suffering with a Barska spotting scope. It’s finally time for a bit of an upgrade. Whilst like me I’m sure you’re all saving up for the new 100mm objective Leica, till I have $5K I have narrowed my options to the following 3 and would love some thoughts from persons with possibly more knowledge than me. The Redfield 20-60 80mm I understand they’re made in Oregon and are a subsidiary of Leupold, I had a chance to look through one at my local sporting goods shoppe. I could read, with some difficulty due to image aberration, 12 point font at about 110 yards. The second scope is the Konus 20-60 100mm I understand these are Chinese in manufacture using Japanese made glass though glass made to Konus’ spec to meet a price point. I’ve not been able to find a local retailer that has one I can look through. The third is the Celestron C90 this is more accurately described as a telescope as it uses interchangeable eye pieces and is generally meant for viewing planets. I’ve not discovered much about their manufacture and have not have a chance to look through one. Thoughts and ideas welcome.
