Don'r know what you can get for $350--the top spotting scopes range from $1500-3500. However, if you have a decent telephoto lens, 200 mm or more, you might consider converting the lens to a spotting scope with an adapter. The one i've heard of is here: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=857277&gclid=COXw9JaX1s0CFZY1aQod4jMI2w&is=REG&ap=y&c3api=1876%2C91438732682%2C&Q=&A=details and will only cost you $179. You can order it with the specific mount for your brand of lens. I am willing to bet it is a better option than a $350 dedicated scope, the optics of which might be sub par. But I am only speculating..
