The Optolyth Compacts have 80mm Objectives and are available in "Straight" and "45-Degree" models, and both models are available in HD and non-HD versions. Good luck.ĮDIT: If you want a spotting scope with the option of a MIL reticle Eyepiece, check-out the Optolyth Compacts. You can get some great deals from any of them from time to time.

Unless you have to have a "virgin" scope, you should check the following links frequently for "Demo" and "Open Box" spotting scopes: After looking through my 65T FL for a few minutes the gentleman told me that he was a little upset that he had bought his (non-HD) Swarovski 65 without having looked through a Diascope 65T. I own and use an older Zeiss Diascope 65T FL and have never owned a Swarovski 65 or 65HD, but for what its' worth, last year a gentleman with a non-HD Swarovski 65 came over and asked if he could look through my Diascope 65T FL. I know the Kowa is a little bigger for better light, but did not know if there was a big difference between these scopes.
