"entry level" spotting scope with bipod?

[mr00jimbo]

What on the lower end is acceptable for a spotting scope, and where could I find them storewise? I like online and whatnot but I also like to go in and toy with 'em with my hands and eyes. I went into London drugs today ready to look at them, and the sales jagoff behind the counter just looked right through me and was very rude when I was asking.

But it doesn't have to be TOO entry level, right now I just want to see my 100 yard target out on the firing line. Any suggestions?

go to CT and pick up a Celestron "mini mak" for $99. i have one and it works like a charm 30-90X it'll defintly work. other then that theres a winchester spotting scope in the EE section for $150 + shipping

I recently bought an 80mm Konus with a tripod from the US for $200.00US plus $30cdn at the post office.

The Dollar is high right now so yours will be even cheaper and there is a 60mm scope that is about $50.00US cheaper as well.

I still have not been to the range with it but I am conifident it's as good as it gets in this price range....

I have the celestron ultima 80,and you can see bullet holes at 300 meters with it.They also make a 60 model.I have never tried the mini mak's but the ultimas are fantastic.
