I am thinking of picking up another spotting scope. Currently have a Simmons that was around $150, and it works ok for 100-200 yards.

Now I have access to a 600yd range, and need something better.

I am hoping a better scope will have better eye relief, eye box, and the focus be less twitchy.

I also need to get a solid tripod. I have an ok one for cameras, but it is not the best for a spotting scope, it's fine for remote camera work though.

I am thinking the $400-500 range is a good point to look.
