Camofire deal o'day: Vanguard spotting scope

Post by blackeagle603 »

Vanguard Signature Series 78 & 79 20-60x80 Spotting Scope for $181.80. link
Any opinions on this scope quality and price pt? I still don't have a spotter of any sort. I could use an entry level one for the range.

It appears to be a GREAT deal, but I'd prefer one with an offset eyepiece, rather than one which is inline (which might be great for shooters without a spotter and have to roll over from a prone position and look through their scope at the target.

If you're shooting from a bench, it'll probably work out GREAT and appears to be a good value for the money.

These features I LIKE:
# SLR camera adapter for high magnification digiscoping
# Table top tripod with quick-release pan head included
YMMV

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
