Got the Brunton scope yesterday. Seems well built. I will see if I can post some pics over the weekend as well as my initial thoughts.

I got the fixed 30X wide field lens as well. It makes a big difference in brightness with the fixed lens for sure. The guys at Brunton are top notch. I traded at least 4 different e-mails with their technical support and they sent me a lens they had left over at a deeply discounted price. They could have told me it is no longer made but they took to time to look and find one for me. Outstanding. Its too bad more retailers don't carry their product lines. I hope to post some more info soon. Got some pictures through it with my phone not the best but surprisingly good.

There is a pentax 20-60x80ED on ebay for 600.00 could be a good deal for some one
