Hi David

As a relatively new birder I recently decided to add a scope to my tools of
trade. I didn't have the budget for the Swarovski/Leica end of the spectrum,
so I did a lot of online research of scopes in the 'mid' bracket.

I eventually decided upon the Vortex Razor HD, which I note that Ozscopes
stock (bought mine elsewhere). I am extremely happy with the performance,
and have even had it alongside a Swarovski with much more experienced
birders. In my opinion (and theirs), the comparative performance belied the
very considerable difference in cost. There are plenty of similar glowing
reviews on the net.

However the advice I was given by many birders prior to my purchase was to
buy the best that I could afford - and I agree. It's likely to be a once in
a lifetime purchase

I suggest you give the Vortex some consideration in any case

Cheers
Ray Pearson

Hi Luke and Jude,

I am also curious as in the same boat.  Wondering how much you should pay to
get a decent scope within a decent price range would be helpful too.

Hi Luke


Just wondering if you had any private replies to your post ...  I too am
looking into purchasing my first scope (the big names being just soooo out
of my price range).   The web site looked enticing so would love to hear if
you had any replies.


Jude

I'm currently looking into purchasing my first spotting scope and have been
looking at the website www.ozscopes.com.au. Has anybody had any experience
purchasing from this website? Any other tips on good retail outlets in
Melbourne for spotting scopes and what brands to stick to or stay clear of
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Luke.
