[QUOTE="Johnathan Aulabaugh, post: 39300, member: 7698"] Yeah I under stand that a cassegrain will have a wider viewing plane of course and hat would be the draw for celestial viewing/photography and that for many instances when viewing out side of the planet the telescope may perform better depending on the type of telescope vs spotting scope. I can see the draw for having a tactical spotting scope if you do extreme long distance shooting but most peoples long distance is 500-1000 yrds for which you really do not need a tac ret. For those distances in the field I use a leopold range finder (if I have time) and B&C low profile rifle scope and do quite well although if your are in the competitions that might be a whole other topics. My dad uses a sworovshi spotting scope as well as Leica range finding binos (which are cool as heck). I hunt with mostly Leopold optics although I am drawn to the vortex hd binos because I did not feel the eye strain with their binos like I do with my 12x50 I would be extremly weary of using that vortex system woth my camera personally.
