Nikon Spotting Scopes give birders a front row seat to observe birds and other wildlife in their natural habitat. Their smaller size makes them an excellent traveling companion for birders on-the-go as they are easily stored in most packs and most models weigh in less than 32 ounces.

Nikon Spotting Scopes include the ProStaff line of waterproof spotters – in 82mm objective lens scope and 65mm objective lens scope models. Both feature multicoated optics, durable rubber-armored coatings, bayonet-style quick-change eyepiece capability and removable peep sights.

Available with either straight body, or angled body configurations, these Spotting Scopes offer features such as sliding sunshades, Vue-Thru cases, interchangeable eyepieces and the option of getting it in an ‘outfit’, with zoom eyepiece and tripod.

Nikon also offers a spotting scope with a handy zoom lens – the Spotter XLII series. This 16-48-power zoom spotting scope features a slim roof prism design, 60mm objective lens and rubber armored-coating. Waterproof and fogproof, the Spotter XLII is available as a stand-alone and in an‘outfit’ – complete with a compact tripod and a deluxe carry case.
