Pa.FrankI can't help myself... spotting scope addiction
Every time I see one cheap, I can't help myself I just have to buy it! (B&L Balscope Sr)
Well I picked up another one.. 20X and its on and OLD style B&L window mount.. $50 shipped so how could i say no??? Well used, but perfect optics.. Pretty soon I'll have more of these than I have guns!
I'd like to get a 15X and a 25X eyepiece... they come up every now and them but usually go for more than a whole scope!
The search (and addiction) continues!

carpetman1Those old B&L Rochester NY made can't be beat. There is a 15x-60x zoom at a good price on EBAY now. Then you wouldn't need the eyepieces. BTW I have the zoom and it's great.

Allan DI picked up a B&L Balscope senior last year on Ebay. I use it at the range to see hits on the 300 yard target - really lovely optics.
The only downside is that it's not sealed against moisture but on the other hand you can take out the front elements and clean them.

Thanks I've owned one of these in the past. Good scope but the resolution is not quite as good as the fixed power Balscopes....
