RE: Selecting a Spotting Scope
If this is for silhouette I would rather have a 20x-60mm baush lomb on a very good tripod than a $1200 scope on a POS tripod. Lot of adjustments on tripods may not be better, keep it simple. We shoot more in 10+ mph winds than less which makes flags more important than mirage.
I use a 20 year old 20x-80mm kowa and you can focus close for mirage and still see the hits clearly on the animals.
