Looking to buy a nice used spotting scope. Angled tube only please.

Something like the vortex razor hd 20-60
or the Leupold sx-4 20-60

Or something else that I'm not thinking about. I am not quite in that swaro price budget, but please let me know what you have.
I have learned to ask the forum first before spending money elsewhere.

Thanks in advance.

I have a swarovski at a good price listed on Gunbroker but it is a straight.

Spend the money for a Swarovski and never look back. They’re worth it!

I have an angled Nikon Fieldscope III with a magnification range in that range (in fact it might be exactly that), but am not selling partly because it's slightly better optically than basically the same Swarovski scope--and yes, own one of those too. This is not just my opinion, but everybody who's looked through both scopes on the same day and time.

Am still astounded by how many people assume "Euro Alphas" are optically better than any made elsewhere on earth--even some of the "Euro Alpha" companies have had optics being made in Japan (and even elsewhere) for 20+ years....

Sportsman's has the Gen 1 Vortex Razor HD 20-60x85 on sale for a good price -

Happy Antelope, a sponsor on Rokslide, has the Razor 16-48 on sale for a good price too.

You see used spotters come up on the classifieds at Rokslide pretty regularly.
