Looking for suggestions on a spotting scope for range use to 200 yds. but mostly 100-150yds or less and some hunting and wildlife viewing. I don't need a top of the line, but could spend a little more than 200 if needed. Thinking about a variable power with a 50mm lens or better.

I have seen the reconditioned Nikon sky/earth (I think that's the model) for around the 200 mark. Anyone have one of these? Is a reconditioned unit ok? Usually, I guess they are returns/exchanges that are wiped down and repacked after a quick inspection. ???
