If you guys be so kind and state your opinion on this piece:

spotting scope from sovietski.com

I want to use it for range finding on the river, as a spotting scope when hiking and just all alround glass eye piece.

Matt, Are you looking at the 4xz20 Spetsnatz model? I have one and it is a superb instrument. Russian optics have a very good reputation. I would pair it with a dedicated dry bag for river use. Another outstanding site for optics is www.deutschoptik.com

Thank Chris, yes that's a scope I'm talking about. I know about Russian optics but I got burned couple of times on camera lenses so I just wanted somebody to tell me again how good they are. Since it's already decided all I have to do now is just to find a good deal on that scope.
