Hi,
Need some advice from experts.I require a spotting scope mainly for 100-200y target shooting and maybe some nature exploring.Price range is about 200$.
What would be your suggestion from those 3 fine scopes below:

Konus Konuspot 20-60x80mm (3.1") - 7120
Burris 20-60x80mm Landmark
Bushnell Spacemaster 20-60x60 787360

Which one is the brightest?
Overall build quality?

I see a lot very positive reviews about Konus as it being in the same level as much more expensive scopes.Is it true?

If you feel there is another scope or two that would fit my needs and would be in the same price range-please guide me to it

Thanks, Ray

Hi

Definitely the Sapcemaster if you are concerned with build quality. The Bushnell Legend 20-60x60 is also good and has excellent eye relief.

No, you get exactly what you pay for in a spotting scope. The Konus is a good value if you are on a tight budget, but it does not compare to an expensive spotting scope in any way.
