Hey there,
I'm hoping to get a bird scope sometime soon--but I need a a base to start with. Does anyone have any that they are using and would recommend to me? And I would also like suggestions on what kind I'm looking for.

My rule for buying birding optics is to figure out how much you want to spend, then double it! I have two scopes. I would recommend either. The less expensive one is an Eagle Optics Raven. Its very reasonably priced and the optics are good. I also have a Swarovski HD 65mm Its small, light and incredibly good! My partner has a full size Swarovski HD and he prefers mine. Of course its 4 times the price of the Raven. I would also recommend you invest in a good tripod. It makes a big difference. Good luck!
One more thing, Eagle Optics has a free buying guide for binoculars and scopes. You can order it at their web page.

jurassic park quote, is it heavy?…yes..then put it down it costs a lot. lol.
Great 60 mm birding scopes for good prices.
I'd say no scope. It is a pretty good gun, one of the best for $200. It will be easier to learn to shoot with iron sights.
were to buy?iam here in fance
