I'm looking for a spotting scope for less than $300. I found this Pentax for $240. Pentax Canada - PF-63 Zoom Spotting Scope
It doesn't include a tripod or a hard case but I would rather put my money in the scope rather than the accessories.
The only problem is that I can't find an on line review. Anyone know anything about this or other Pentax spotting scopes.

I don't sell Pentax so i cant help you there. I sell Leupold, Barska, Nikon (sold out), and other less expensive models. when times are slow i set them on the gun counter at work and try and read sales tags on the other side of the store. several of the lesser ones can zoom in fine but not crisp. for the money, I bought the Barska 20-60. I got the crisp clear view I wanted with the amount of zoom I was looking for at a reasonable price (think it was $185.00 but not sure, Camo version) of course the Nikon and Leupold are a bit better...
I use a Swarovski ATS/STS 65 20x60 but it,s a little expensive.However I find really good glass costs.I have other scopes in the $200range and less that you can get by with. sam.
I bought a 14X-45X Wind River which is made by Leupold a few years ago. It works well for the money I spent on it. I have been wanting to upgrade to a better quality glass and more magnification. The 45X is good for about 200yds on targets with most rifles. It works really well for hunting though.
