I'd certainly recommend the Swarovski ST-80 scope with the 20-60x zoom lens.
I've owned mine for about three years and have never regretted getting it. It
transmits lots of light, is waterproof and dustproof (a big problem with the
Kowa IMO), and is ruggedly built. The only downside is that the price keeps
creeping up.
