Had this scope for 3 weeks. I thought the optics were pretty fantastic. Focus is a bit finickie, mostly because its too sensitive to adjust. Eye relief as others have noted is poor, you really have to jam your eye in there. Was happy with my purchase until one day the ocular side cover (which is screw on instead of pop off like the objective) seized onto the ocular piece. I didn't notice in time and next thing I know I'm holding the whole ocular piece in my hand. Closer inspection showed the locking ring was attached to the cover. Sent it back for a full refund, but I can tell you it looked just as clear IMO as a Celestron 52252 100mm Ultima, which is 3x the $money$

Nice optic for the price, clarity exceeded my expectation out to 300 yards. Good for taking to the range or general wildlife viewing.

Quick set up and easy to use. Good clarity out to 200 yds, FOV acceptable for 20 x 20 x 60. Tripod works great, looks cheap but solid and very effective. Like the fact that you can lock it in place from one point, the swivel/panning handle excellent value

This product was exactly what I was expecting it to be and because of that it was perfect. I needed to sight in my rifle's Optics and BUIS at 100-200yrds and it did a great job of spotting my .308 holes in the target. For me 60x does not focus completely but it was enough to see what I needed. Yes, there a better scopes but I used it for only sighting in and for that it was perfect.

Would recommend:  no

I thought my expectations were low enough, but they were not. The optics are quite dark and not very sharp even at 20x. The extremely short eye relief means you are pressed up against the rubber and your cornea feels like it's practically touching the eyepiece.

A full size adjustable tripod would be a better combination. Other than that completely satisfied.

The scope is well worth the money for a scope that is being used for sighting in a weapon at 100 yards. It's a good scope for general use, but you do get better optics for a great deal more money. As the saying goes; you get what you pay for. I bought mine for sighting in an AR at 100 yards, works for me.

This scope has some of the worst optics I have looked thru. Double image and not able to make fine adjustments on focus.
