Best value spotting scope….?

[sevenmil]

Hi guys - need to buy a new spotting scope, but have no idea what brands are favoured by forum members. I want it for long range work (F-Standard shooting) but may use it occasionally in the filed for long range hunting, so I need something durable, but hopefully not too costly.

I see that Australian Geographic shops stock a 115x power unit for around $230-250, but I am not sure how rugged they'd be. Any thoughts as to brands and how much I should expect to pay for a mid price range unit ?
