I've been in the market for a spotting scope and have a friend who is picking up a cheap (<$150) Barska spotting scope 30-90 x 90.

This just seems to cheap to be what I'm looking for, but I do love paying less.

What is the actual quality for spotting scopes beyond the magnification and apperature? Are there actually fuzzy lenses? For rifle scopes I know the sturdiness becomes quite important depending on the caliber of your rifle.

Sorry to the original poster if I'm changing the subject here but I think rifle scopes will probably have similar issues as well.
