Rated 5 out of 5

An Excellent Scope

This scope is affordable, very well designed, and it has very sharp images, even at higher magnification. It's versatile with a range of tripod heads, which is hard to find on most other scopes. I don't notice any vignetting while looking through the glass, and, as an eyeglass wearer, the eye relief is very comfortable. I haven't experienced any eyestrain! I'm new to spotting scopes, but I did a lot of research/reading. I had debated other brands that have scored superb ratings, but I wanted something more affordable but also of excellent quality. To me, this scope meets my needs.
