[mou] help with scopes?????

One useful reference (or at least a starting point) could be the newly
updated Living Bird scope review:

with results summarized here:

They do break down their ratings into "Top-of-the-line", "Mid-priced"
and "Budget" price groups.

Hello all I'm ready to move from binoculars to a scope so I would love
any input as to what some of you birders have used.  Let me know the
scopes (brands) you like the best, what to look for in a scope, angled
or straight, I have been birding 20 years( I'm 27) and all I have ever
used are binoculars, last fall I was able to look through a scope out at
Sherburn Wildlife Refuge and relized I've been missing out. So any help
would be awsome. I also should say I have a 10 month old little girl so
I'm sure my wife will budget me, as I have seen scopes going
$2000-$3000.  Try to shy away from those.  Also If anyone has a used one
and they have upgraded let me know I would not be opposed to buying a
used one.  Thank you all so much.

Bird on!
