It looks like Zen-Ray may be out of business; you might be able to find one of their spotters on sale. Excellent glass for the money.
200 yards is easily doable, 300 is unrealistic for any scope. Atmospheric conditions like mirage, glare, dust etc. make 300 only possible if the conditions are perfect.
My dilemma continues.....Stopped by the Bushnell Outlet to again look over the Legend Compact 15-45x. It is a step up from the cheap (under $200) Trophy series. The Legend is $290...good scope, not expensive, with straight eyepiece. Then I made the mistake of looking through a $900+ scope right next to the Legend.....crap, it was way better. I'm also thinking I might need the 60X offered on many other scopes and the 45 degree angle eye piece. Still looking.
What if this happened at Perry or on an expensive once in a lifetime hunt?
OOPS...I meant Kenai...not KeniaJust learned that I can get a Leupold Kenia spotting scope, (MSRP is $1299) for $715 plus shipping. That's more money than I wanted to spend, but can't argue with the price. Decisions, decisions.....
