I purchased my Kowa scope and Manfrotto tripod many years ago from CMBO.
While they did not have the lowest price, they did allow you to actually
try out the scopes, and they were more knowledgeable than B regarding
scopes for BIRDING. You are also supporting a great organization by
purchasing

B are indeed good - but bear in mind that by giving them your money
you're supporting some pretty horrendous discrimination practices. They're
being sued again by the feds right now:

This may be stretching this discussion topic beyond what is desired but...I
did want to add another plug for EagleOptics' support of birding.
They have a 1-for-1 matching program for not-for-profits with their
Kingbird binoculars, good for youth birding programs. Saw Mill River

I am another Bob enthusiast. Last fall, I bought my Nikon binoculars from Bob.
He was terrific—he even made me look at a pair of binoculars that was cheaper
than the one I was interested in. He didn’t pressure me to buy the more
expensive Nikon. He was recommended to me by Birding Bob. So I

The key to getting awesome help in Optics at the B store is "Bob". If you
get anyone else you'll be disappointed, but Bob has been there for years and is
a godsend. He is extremely knowledgeable, ethical, helpful and personable. I
couldn't recommend him more highly.

I'll second that. B is a fantastic store to buy optics and they are great in
customer service ON-LINE.
I too went to their store to buy a scope and they are of almost zero help.
They do have an amazing multi-floor store. If you've never been there, it is
worth a trip one day.

B Photo on 9th Ave has many scopes on display. While they are quite
knowledgeable, they are somewhat less than helpful in that the scopes are not
mounted on tripods. If you already have a tripod, I suggest bringing it with
you. If not, you can go upstairs to the used tripod dept and borrow

I'm interested in shopping for a birding spotting scope. Are they any stores
in the downstate NY area that display several makes and models that a customer
can look through and compare?
Apparently the Cape May Bird Observatory has such a store, but I'd rather not
