spotting scope
A spotting scope is a small portable high-power telescope with added optics to present an erect image, optimized for the observation of terrestrial objects. They are used for birdwatching and other naturalist activities, for hunting for verifying a marksman's shots, ranging and surveillance, and for any other application that requires more magnification than a pair of binoculars, typically on the order of 20× to 60×.
The light-gathering power and resolution of a spotting scope is determined by the diameter of the objective lens, typically between 50 and 80 mm (2.0 and 3.1 in). The larger the objective, the more massive and expensive the telescope.
The optical assembly has a small refracting objective lens, an image erecting system that uses either image erecting relay lenses or prisms (Porro prisms or roof prisms), and an eyepiece that is usually removable and interchangeable to give different magnifications. Other telescope designs are used such as Schmidt and Maksutov optical assemblies. They may have a ruggedised design, a mounting for attaching to a tripod, and an ergonomically designed and located knob for focus control.
Eyepieces are usually interchangeable to give different magnifications, or may consist of a single variable "zoom" eyepiece to give a range of magnifications. Magnifications of less than 20× are unusual, as are magnifications of more than 60× since it can lead to poorer image brightness, a narrow field of view, and show too much image shake, even on a tripod. The eyepiece mount layout can be "straight-through" (the eyepiece is on the same axis as the body of the scope), or "angled" (the eyepiece is at an angle of usually 45 degrees to the body of the scope).
Great condition. Used infrequently & only for zeroing rifles from a bench. Recently got another spotting scope in trade. Comes with a soft storage bag.

Up for grabs is a solid vintage spotting scope from tasco, model 3701 in camo. Includes the tripod, handle and factory covers for each end. This one has no issues, clear glass and has always been stored indoors. It’s as close to new as you’re going to get on one this old. Great scope!

Thinking about selling and/or trading my spotter for a set of 12x42 NL pure’s. Absolutely incredible spotter. Arguably the best spotting scope available today. For me, primarily hunting on the west side of the cascades a spotting scope isn’t super practical and just adds weight. I use my binos a...
Selling this 20-60x80 spotting scope. Definitely punches above it's weight class, and probably one of the best you can get for under $250.
Don't expect Swarovski-level optics for <$250, but it does the job at the range and has served me well for the last ~16 months or so until I finally...
selling a Redfield rampage spotting scope, it has 20-60 magnification and 60mm objective lens. The glass is good and clear, I’ve had it for several years and haven’t abused it. Asking $175 but can be a little flexible on it.
Vortex diamondback 20-60x65 spotting scope. I bought it about 10 years ago and have barely used it.
It is a nice glass, i just dont use spotting scopes as much as i expected i would when i purchased it.
I have a used Leupold Compact 15-30X50 spotting scope. Of course it carries the Leupold lifetime warranty which is worth the price at anytime. I used this for hunting and small range time on a tripod. I have since upgraded to a Leupold MK 4 so this just collects dust.
Asking $350

Used on one hunt and some spotting at the range. Tripod has a dent on one leg from a fall while hunting. $300 for the spotter and $150 for the tripod or $400 for the package.
The spotting scope was manufactured in 1993. Leupold just inspected it and replaced the eyepiece assembly/lens, power selection ring and replaced the erector system. The front and rear objective looks great, there are a few cosmetic dings on the body.
