Fixed high power scope recommendations.

[rodjava]

I'm researching FIXED HIGH POWER scopes 60 power or greater.
I know this might be a stretch, since my budget is is Sub $600.
A previously owned and well maintained scope is probably what will be available at this price range.

If you can keep you comments and suggestions "on topic" I would like to hear back from you.

Your going to spend 3x that for used and 4x that for new, minimum.

might find one used ? much better than you think for this money

ok just looked around and it looks like your severally lacking $$$ as far as i can see. maybe something chinese clone ?

Thank you to everybody that chimed in so far. Yes, I know my $600 funding is on the low end.
Hence my search for a previously owned scope. I'm hoping that someone who owns multiple guns with a scope one each gun, may want to part with their fixed 60+x scope and try something different.

Each time someone tells me I can't afford a $$$$$ scope, I regret not going to college 50 years ago. lol

What do you need a 60x scope for? That is getting into spotting scope territory.

I don't know about rodjava, but I feel that is serious BIGFOOT gear!

I currently shoot a 12x60x60 scope which I like. However, I typically only bench rest 200 yards which is the longest distance at my club range. I very seldom zoom out as I'm not hunting. I would like to add a Tactacam on a fixed 60x to get the best quality video. A scope with zoom has too many lens compared to a fixed lens scope.

Some spotting scopes have a camera attachment for the eyepiece. Would probably provide way better image quality for video than a tacticam on a scope with the smallest eyerelief and exit pupil possible.

Cyclops did a youtube video on a brand new BSA scope that went south on him and BSA would not stand behind their warranty. He pretty much flushed BSA, FWIW.
