Better than Expected (based upon other Reviews)
The scope does everything I had hoped it would. I use it primarily for gun range spotting and at 100 yds. it is spot on, I actually had to back out the magnification so I could see around the target as well. If you put the time into "learning" how to properly focus the scope it works flawlessly. I am anxious to try out the 150-200 yd. range, as I have not had the daylight to test it fully yet, but I am confident that it will meet these expectations as well.

Doesn't fog, eye relief is fine (I don't wear glasses, so I'm not sure for those who do). The tripod is shaky, but I haven't weighted anything to the drop-down hook on it either for stabilization.

All in all, I am absolutlely satisfied and then some with this purchase. Would definately recommend this to anyone who is looking for a cheap substitute to higher end models. Happy spotting folks.

Awesome product, great price
This spotting scope came with everything including hardcase. Only option is a full tripod if you don't have a railing to set the small one on. Very clear optics, great zoom capability. Delivered as promised in great condition.

not impressed
An astronomer told me not to worry about magnification... optical quality is more important... she is right!

This thing may go to "125x", but its totally blurry at that level. Its basically good up to 50 or 75x. Its very cheap-feeling. Its not too bad, but really it seems like cheap crap when you hold it.

I guess it works well enough... but if you dont need all the accessories it comes with, go with a cheaper model or similar priced one with lesser zoom but better optics.

Purchased May 2009
Disappointed in this product's quality. There is a visible speck in the field of vision due to a contaminate inside the unit. Repeated calls to the company went unanswered, so customer service is nill. Would not recommend any products sold by this company.

Get What You Pay For
Its a good scope but like other pay say, the quality drops after about 75X power. The scope is not a top of the line scope but it is good quality for what you pay. I'm happy with my purchase and I think its worth my money.
