Guest ZKS90 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hey i am currently looking @ purchasing a nikon sky and earth 15*45*60 spotting scope. I will mainly be using this for out west on antelope, muleys, and elk. Is this a good scope? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Re: Nikon Spotting Scopes Honestly...never looked through that paticular scope...however, Nikon makes some great glass. I have several scopes and bino's and love all of them. Can't imagine their spotting scopes are any different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Re: Nikon Spotting Scopes I highly recommend looking at one in person. When I was shopping for a spotter scope, I picked out a few in the price range and looked at them all side by side. Crank up the magnification and look at something as far away as possible. Unless one of them are made by Zeiss, Leica, or Swarovski, the name does not mean much. Let your eye pick the best one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Colorado Bob Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Re: Nikon Spotting Scopes Is this a 15X-45X with a 60MM lense? If so your power is correct---IMO anything over 45X with have to much Mirage (heat waves) to be much account. Another suggest is to use before you come out west. It's amazing how much eye strain there is using a spotting scope, it gives me a headache in short order----until you eye gets use to it..

Guest Blacktail Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Re: Nikon Spotting Scopes My brother in law has one and likes it but like already said here its aways good to check it out in person. I do remember looking through his when he first picked it up and I remember thinking it was a really clear scope. Good luck!
