## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice scope especially for the price
*by D***L on July 12, 2025*

Great spotting for the price

### ⭐⭐⭐ good value
*by B***0 on June 2, 2016*

Always a sucker for value and this compact spotting scope has that in spadesDon't have unrealistic expectations and you'll like it. Good compact size, light and while the included tripod is kinda flimsy it can fold down into a compact size and does the job good enough.Only thing is the pouch included will not fit the scope with the tripod attached but no big dealWill update after getting out to the range with itUPDATE - forget about the plastic stand it comes with, the thing is pretty much useless if there is any kind of wind. It is not stable enough and will vibrate as you adjust the focus and windage/elevation. I put it on a tripod I had just laying around it is much better now.at 100 yards, all levels of magnification is pretty clear, 200 yards it starts to get semi blurry and at 300 yards you'll be hard pressed to see hits in smaller calibers even with shoot and see targets. Beyond that forget about it. Best magnification is between 15X-30X. Above that and it's rather difficult to get it to focus properly, almost impossible to do with the included stand.still a good buy given the price, but highly recommend getting a more sturdy stand to use with it. Updated to 3 stars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Took this scope to Costa del Sol, Spain vacation - Amazing for the price
*by S***S on June 8, 2019*

I am amazed by the quality of the optics despite low price. The diopter ring adjustment is not marked !. It is the inside ring.FYI - this diopter ring is used to adjust to your particular eyes in place of glasses. The supplied tripod is a clever design but being plastic it is wobbly. Use a proper tripod as there is 1/4 - 20 standard tripod mount. I wish there is available smart phone mount for this scope. For higher magnifications, I feel quality optics are not that critical since atmospheric distortions and shaking dominate.
