Way too little context my friend. Put this in guns and ammo and you will get more responses too.

A used Kowa that a drunk posts way too low at 3am or a new Pentax ED of a size suitable too you. And yes more info maybe better. Lots of new Chinese glass on the market, I just try to avoid it. Call me old school

The choices are endless in your $1500 range just depends on what you want for power magnification range etc. and if your mounting it on a 30-30 or a 338 lapua.

Kowa 664/663 series 20-60x 66mm, if you are looking for a full size spotter. Great glass.

Are you packing it around all day for going from a truck or blind?

I really do like my vortex razor hd. I have of course never had a better one so I may be missing out, but for the price it puts up a good fight against the top dogs. It winds up in last place in a lot of comparisons between swavorski obviously but it's less then half price.

You can find the older models for less then 1500 now, and they are tough. And great warranty.
