Best spotting scope for the money. Great clarity.
For this order, I had a range trip come up sooner than expected, and needed to sight in several rifles at 100 yards. While that normally isn't an issue, sighting in several at a time, then walking down range, coming back, making adjustments, and then firing again repeatedly wasn't practical. So firing and making corrections for each rifle without much time in between was a must. The clarity is amazing. Even .22 (.224) caliber holes show up super clearly at 100 yards, and I am confident could show up very well at further distances. The tripod isn't stellar, but plenty good and solid for any normal application. The angle of the eye piece means you'll need to stand up or adjust yourself to look through if you're firing from prone or bench, but that's no real problem. The unit comes with easy on/off caps to protect the lenses and an extendable sun shade which I found very helpful. One of the photos is a 1/4 scale steel target at 100 yards on 20x magnification, which is only 1/3 of its potential. The target is "wearing" an old metal construction hat. I may not have sought out the sunshade, but now I won't own one without it. This lightweight, inexpensive, yet high quality spotting scope will last me a long time, and I highly recommend it. It now has a permanent place in my vehicle for my constant range trips, and I wouldn't be surprised if it came out for other applications such as hunting and sight seeing in the future. Only thing I can't comment on is its water resistance. It has not been submerged or rained on at this time.
