Spotters Kowa 601

[feelinducky]

I'm looking at the Kowa 601 does anyone have any experience with it? Clarity, durability? Also where is the best place to get one? Or if you have a better idea around the $800 mark let me know.
Thanks

I have one. Nothing else in its price range even comes close.

I currently have the tsn 601 with the 25x LER long eye relief lens. As stated, nothing touches the clarity for the price.

The only downside is the lack of a rotating ring mounting point. If you’re going with a straight scope it’s not an issue. Angled eyepiece scopes need the rotation ring mounts or you use some articulated tripod head.

Smoothy:

What tripod do you use?

I use a Ray Vin tripod with the "ball head" that I can swivel around and get it right up to my left eye while I'm on the gun. I'm in position and just glance left to check mirage.
