They are getting cheaper. I'm keeping an eye AmazonCamofire.com has the vortex 85mm spotting scope on sale for the next few hours. if you miss it, they have been putting the 85mm and 65mm on there a couple times per week.
I'm sure they will bottom out. It's still great glass. I just think retailers are giving up their profit to bring in new inventory.I picked up a 65mm on Als.com for 809.99 shipped a few weeks ago. Couldn't pass up that deal. Even if I sell it in a few years and take a couple hundred dollar loss on it, it still would've been more expensive to rent one every time I go hunting.
