I picked up an awsome spotter on E-Bay a few weeks ago. I got the Loupold 12-40x60. it is as good if not better than many of the really expensive ones. I am really happy with the amount of light it gathers before light and after dark. to me that is when you need the spotter to really work. I got mine with the tri-pod and window mount for $555.00. new they sell for 2x that. keap on eye on e-bay for them and you can get a great deal. the nice thing about mine is it is light and great for the day pack.
