I am impressed with the clarity and field of view. Once I have it set up on the target, It is just shoot and look and shoot and look. It really is a nice spotting scope for even a .22 cal round at 100 yards. Sure saves a lot of footwork to see where You are hittingYoBenHur

I chose the Alpen 20x50 waterproof Mini Spotting Scope w/sunshade, tripod, carrying case 711 for all the reasons just listed. I needed a good quality, waterproof scope to take with me to the range and when hunting. Injuries prevent me from lugging around heavy loads, so the Alpens' small size & weight are valuable assets. Bag it in place to prevent movement and it's a great little scope.
