Which telescope is right for me?
I'm leaving on a hunting trip in the west each year (open field). I want to buy a telescope for hunting trips in western and hunting in Michigan (opened and closed the country). I do not want to spend an arm and a leg but willing to spend $ 500 to $ 600. I was looking for between the Leupold Golden Ring 15-30×50 ProStaff Nikon 16-48×65 and the observer XL2 nikon 16-48×60. I am open to all the different areas of localization. What hunter birders think? What use?
You have three types of access in mind. Test 3. Whatever you give the best field of vision and clarity is the purchase. IMO. Please note that I buy the Nikon in house brand any day of the week!
