Review Summary
The Simmons straight view Prosport 20-60x60 Spotting Scope with Tripod is a general purpose optic that features a weather-sealed housing and a 20-60x zoom eyepiece. The fully coated optical path and BK7 glass prisms transmit enhanced clarity and contrast. A built-in sliding sunshade can further improve image quality by shielding stray light that produces glare and distracting optical artifacts.
This scope's 20-60x magnification range makes it well-equipped for almost any intermediate to long-range observation; its ability to focus on subjects within 15 ft also make the Prosport spotting scope ready for birding and other close-range tasks. The scope housing is nitrogen-filled and rubber-armored, delivering fogproof performance and non-slip handling in rainy and cold conditions. Simmons outfitted this optic with an adjustable tripod and aluminum hard case, making it a cost-effective spotting scope that is ready for action right out of the box.
