Coach Report post Posted December 8, 2004 I had what I believe to be one of Nikon's top-of-the-line spotting scopes, the fieldscope III (non-ED glass) and found that while it was a good scope, I didn't gain enough over swaro 15's with a doubler to justify carrying it around. If you are going to get a Nikon, look for the Fieldscope III and you may even find one with ED glass for near that price range used on Ebay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
