Spotting Scopes

Spotting scopes where do they rate and whats the bottom end starting point
65mm for compact weight? Will be used down south and open country North for accessing large game. Idea would be able to attach phone.
To honest its on the dream list and it want be the top three brands at least one comes up 2nd hand at the time of purchase.
I know the guys that use the top three will say that's where it is but i once again didn't buy a ticket:D
Swarovski
Zeiss
Leica
Vortex razor
vortex viper
leupold sx4
leupold sx2
There will be others i missed
Also out of these the vortex warranty is the best

I’ve had a delta titanium 15-45 and I would easily put it on par with the two Swarovski ATS I have had. No doubt the ATX would edge it out easily but much better value for money if you’re looking at an ATS. Vortex has a good warranty on their stuff but you also hear of that warranty being used often also, also they just replace items never repair them so you have to ask the question how can they afford to do that?

I have a vortex razor in 82 mm giant step up from the viper
I looked through all the top ones you have listed and for the extra money I couldn’t justify them . I can see 7mm holes at 300m at the range with mine and we were looking at deer at 1.5km in the hills last time .no warranty on The swaro if you drop it.
Just my 2c
