I quit selling the Leupolds and the TK Scout because no matter how much warning I gave people, no matter how much I told them it wasn't going to do what they wanted it to, people still bought them and wanted to return them. They are a fun toy but that's about it. For real in the field hunting, spotting and ID'ing, you're looking at spending about $1,699+ and that would be something like the Pulsar Axion thermal monocular. I keep hoping we will see something down there in the $1,000 range but so far the quality at those kinds of prices are just sub-par.
Hope that helps!
