I am looking for a spotting scope in the below $500 range. I am mainly going to use it at the range and in daylight, distances from 300-800 yrds. I have already a 6-24X 56mm Zeiss in my rifle so i was looking for something a little more powerful.

Someone has to say this.

You've got a 6-24x56 Zeiss on the gun and you want something better for less than $500???

DUDE! The next thing just a little better than that scope is a 65mm Zeiss or Swaro Spotter, and they run a little more than 2.5 times you're $500 unless you get really lucky.
