Does anyone have any experience with the 50mm Kowa spotting scope or has anyone actually seen one? The model number is
TS-501 and is available in fixed 20x or zoom in either angled or straight eye piece. The price is around $200.
Would this be adequate for high power? Out of all the <$300 spotting scopes I have actually seen in stores, the Leupold Wind River with the angled eye piece seems to be the best buy. I have not, however, been able to look through one at the range. Would the 50mm Kowa be better than the 60mm Leupold?
If the 50mm Kowa would be adequate, would the 20x or zoom model be better?
I know there will be many suggestions about getting what you pay for. I'd like to know what the next best thing might be.
