I need a scope for just looking at game at 4-500yds and 100 yd targets. I need some help in narrowing down the field. Here's some options: the Nikon earth/sky 15x45x60 @$280 or the Nikon 20x60x80@$435 or the Kowa 501 20x40x50@$208 or Kowa 611 20x60x60@$425 and finally the Meade ETX-90 fixed@48x90@$400. The Meade looks like a very good optical piece but I don't know anything about scope quality.
Am I limiting myself if I used a fixed eyepiece rather than a zoom? My gut feeling is I would be.
