    Default Bought a Vortex 11-33x50 spotting scope (second guessing the purchase for my purposes)

    Not really trying to be talked into or out of the purchase I think; but I bought a Vortex 11-33x50 spotting scope (went with the compact smaller model intentionally). My thought was that I would prefer a smaller model for now as it would get more use off the range if it was the more compact model.

    I am having second thoughts mostly because I am also saving for a quality spotting scope for High Power competitions (For that purpose I am going for the "buy once cry once" approach and saving for Kowa).

    I can use this one for 100 and 200 yards at the range and can even get a little more zoom out of it using a digiscoping adapter to mount my cell phone (giving me a 4x digital zoom on top of the 11-33 optical zoom)

    While this spotter will fill my needs nicely in a limited manner. I am second guessing the purchase. It is a quality piece I am just not sure I shouldn't have kept the funds in the piggy bank for a Kowa TSN-883

    Anyway in the following pictures each picture has the 11 power picture, the 33 power picture, and 4x digital zoom from cell phone on top of the 33x optical.

    Restaurant sign is 181 yards, Bass Pro sign is 248 yards, reflector on telephone pole is 110 yards, and house at end of block is 220 yards.
