Spotting Scope

Trying to decide between two Bushnell Spotting Scopes.
One is the Spacemaster (787360) multi-position 20-60x60 and the other is the Trophy (782065) 20-60x65.
Only need to be able to see 22 cal holes out to 100yds or so. I like both, but kinda leaning toward the angled eyepiece.
Like to hear the pro's of both, if possible from someone that actually has/uses same.
No Con's please - seen plenty in reviews from Nikon lovers etc

thanks in advance !

I'm not familiar with those models but once I did buy a Bushy 20-60x(can't remember) from Big 5 a few years ago. It was less than $100 so i got one. The image quality was not there. It was ok at 40x but way too fuzzy at 60x. I got what I paid for. So I took it back. If possible, I highly recommend that you look through it before you buy one. Bushnell makes some good stuff. FWIW, I ended up getting a Bausch & Laumb (sp) 15-45x. Happy shopping.

I heard that also. Thanks for confirming the fuzziness.
