You might also check out the Leupold line. I know several folks who are
very very happy with them. Leupold is a long time manufacturer of guns who
are now trying to break into the birding market. They are quality optics
and reasonably priced....at least they were several years ago. Cape May
has a selection (at least they did) as does Eagle Optics.
