Spotting scope advice

[SignGuy]

well my spotting scope and a bunch of other stuff decided to "walk" away from my truck one night last week. funy thing the 30lb bag of lead didnt grow legs LOL. so whats a decent replacement keeping in mind a budget of oo lets say $250-300.
must be weather resistant
usable to 1,000 yards
user freindly anbd clear enough at the highest power to see target markers at 1,000 yards.

SignGuy, Check out the Celestron spotting scopes at Radioworld in Toronto. They have a website. Received a scope from them last week - looks great and at a very good price.
Your requirements and specs are the same as mine and the Celestron Ultima 65 which is 18x-55x with a 65 mm objective should do the job. Comes with a straight or angled eyepiece. You need to provide a tripod or stand.
