New spotting scope! |

Just got a spotting scope from my company. It was my 10 year |
|
anniv gift I got to pick out of a catalog. I had a choice of a |
|
watch, wine chilling refridgerator or a Bushnell Sentry |
|
18x36x50mm. I think I made a good decision. Very nice quality |
|
just need to pick up a window mounting bracket for it. |

Great decision no doubt. I personally have not used one...but |
|
hear they do a great job. Check out Youtube....lots of great how |
|
to videos on making window mounts for spotting scopes. |

Congrats on the 10 yr Anniv. I got a tie tac for mine, the scope |
|
beats that hands down. You can pick up a window mount off Ebay |
|
pretty cheap. |

I was looking around in an old trading post yesterday and came |
|
across a Bushnell spotting scope with the tripod....in the case |
|
for $80.00. Don't have a clue what it's worth. I bet I could |
|
have got it for $60.00 or less. It looked new....worked great. |

I like using spotting scopes and Laser rangefinders when hunting |
|
chucks. I have a Burris 20x to 60x by 80mm spotting scope and a |
|
Bushnell Laser rangefinder. Out to 200 yds theres not much need |
|
for them but beyond that they help alot. |

I always carry a Bushnell Yardage Pro range finder in the truck. |
|
It's a cheap range finder , but helps me with those longer |
|
shots. |

Everything I own from my bow on up is zeroed to my BYP range |
|
finder and I don't leave home without it. A few years ago my |
|
older brother gave me a new Simmons 15-45X 50mm spotting scope |
|
and tripod. He won two of them at a RMEF banquet. You can tell |
|
if a whistle pig shaved before coming out from a long, long way. |
