[Tweeters] Scope needed.

[William K Cirino via Tweeters]

Hi all, first post here, but I've been a lurker for many years.  I hope this is an allowed post.  I'm trying to find a scope for my "cousin of choice" who is in collage studying environmental sciences but is likely moving to an ornithology degree. We had a great time birding this summer but she is suffering from a lack of decent optics. She is a person of color and doesn't come from generational wealth. I gave her my Nikon monarch 7's and  Im trying to help her mom out with getting her a half decent scope. At the moment we are looking at about $500 plus or minus for a scope. That's not a lot so I'm hoping to find a half decent used scope.  Ideally a small scope in the 50-60mm range (Nikon ed50 or similar) as she is a tiny person and lugging an 80mm around isn't ideal. If anyone has a decent quality scope or scope and tripod they would be willing to let go for a good price i and particularly Maeve and her mom would really appreciate it.
