Spotting Scope Recomendations

Bliker · Guest

I'm looking for a backyard spotting scope with an angled eye piece. It will mainly be used for birds and other animals at less than 100 yds. It must also be small enough to throw on my motorcycle to take to the mountains. I've been looking at the following scopes at similar prices.
-Zhumell 20-60-80
-Alpen 15-45-60
- Leupold Sequoia 15-45-60
I've decided to keep the price lower, and then spend $600+ later, on a higher quality scope, if we really enjoying the scope.

Hi

If size is a factor, stay with a 60mm scope, like the Alpen or Leupold. Of these two, I like the Alpen, optically. I would also look at the Vortex Nomad if it is in your budget.
