Jack,
The best buy on the market today is the Hakko 2PT80B (80MM) with the SPE3Z adjustible eyepiece (22-66x). The rig's MSRP is $325.00

Champion's Choice carries them under the Champion's Choice name with a number of CC8045Z in their new 2005 catalog at $300.

Hakko and Kowa are trading partners. The scopes are very similar in optic quality, with the Hakko at less than half the price of a Kowa, yes there are deals out there, why? Hakko is trying to get into the high end spotter market. Every dealer I know wants one of the scopes, right up front. When they get it in, the entire staff then wants one.

You can see a nail head, clearly, in a metal roof at 457 yards. That is the distance across a 4 lane, a field and a parking lot to a church, from the dealer's show room in Pensacola.
