Hi there!
I am looking into buying a spotting scope for my grandfather for Christmas. The use will be watching some birds from his window, and I'm guessing to keep track of his neighbors and animals. He lives quite close to a farm, so he spends lots of time just watching cows from the window.
While doing some research, I stumbled upon another tread where this Vortex Impact is mentioned. However, I could not find any other information on this scope on the forum. From what I have read regarding other Vortex products they come highly recommended. The $200 price tag is also a good argument for this spotter. Does it come with optional reticle or not? From the Vortex site it did not say, so I'm guessing no.
The 25-75x70mm objective seems perfect for his use.
Anyone have any experience with this spotter?
Thanks!
