Nikon - 16-48x65 Angled Body Spotting Scope – 8309

If you spend a lot of time watching birds high in the treetops, scanning higher elevations for wildlife, or gazing at the moon you'll find this angled eyepiece makes "upward" viewing easier. The angled eyepiece also accomodates users of many different heights ... so you can share your findings with others and take less time adjusting the tripod height. Nikon’s Spotter XL II set the standard for what a packable hunting scope can and should be. Nikon has taken Porro prism spotting scopes to a whole new level—introducing the new Nikon ProStaff waterproof spotting scope.

The new Porro prism ProStaff spotting scope provides exceptional optical capabilities, a powerful zoom eyepiece, high light transmission and superior ruggedness. Available in low profile 65mm and 82mm models, in either straight or angled body, the ProStaff spotting scope features a standard sliding hood, and a special optical peep sight that gets the user on target faster than ever before. Designed with a super-fast bayonet eyepiece connection, there are three other eyepieces, other than the standard zoom available to fit the ProStaff spotting scope.
