TLP,
I'll give you exactly what your looking for as I too am in the same market as you. :grin:
BUSHNELL ELITE 15X-45X-60MM W/ RAINGUARD SPOTTING SCOPE.I have borrowed this spotting scope from a friend and I LOVE IT. Go to
www.dnrsports.com and see if they have it. Most stores sell them for a little bit over $500, but I'm sure that dnrsports, if they have them, will be much less.
You may also want to consider the Nikon Spotter XL in the same power range. It's less expensive than the Elite, but it doesn't have rainguard, and I think that a spotting scope with Rainguard is a major plus.
