Hi Justin,

My Nikon Fieldscope was a bit pricier than your budget, but that was five
years ago.  I think that one of the big online distributors (B&H Photo,
etc.) might have great prices on this superb, affordable scope.  I love it -
the Nikon glass is simply far superior to scopes costing 3-5X as much!  Yes,
I am biased, but my binocs are Nikon Superior E 10 x 42 that I would put up
against Leica or any of the pricier alternatives out there.

Subject: [VTBIRD] scope advice

Hello List--

I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on purchasing a
reasonably priced, 
good scope.   

My glasses are Nikon Actions -- which are my idea of reasonably priced/good.
Is there 
something like this in the scope world?

I have possibly 3-4 hundred dollars set aside for this purchase. 

Thanks in advance!
