I'm looking for an affordable spotter. I know that's all relative, but to give you an idea of what I was looking at, the Redfield Rampage looks interesting to me. Having said that, other suggestions are welcome.
I realize that you get what you pay for. I'm just curious about this particular product in comparison with something like the [affordable] Redfield or Tasco offerings.
