Compact Spotting Scopes
Can you buy a decent scope for bird watching for about $150?

I need a compact telescope with at least 20x power. The primary purpose would for bird watching. The secondary purpose would be for spotting shots at 25-50 yards with a .177 caliber air gun.
These are my 1st 2 choices:

http://www.opticsplanet.net/tasco-world-class-spotting-scope-20-60x80mm.html

because they have the larger 80mm objective, but I'd prefer a BK-4 prism over BK-7 prism, but that would double the price and make them out of my price range.
