Purchased this scope for the gun range and was disappointed that it would not focus past 50x at 300 yards or 600 yards. 45x worked best at 300 but it took about 30 sec. to pick out the impact holes on paper targets. 50x worked best at 600 yards but it was again difficult to pick out 223 impact marks on a 24X24 steel plates. Have not used it for anything else but I do think it would work for bird watching or other sight seeing activities.

As my first spotting scope, it's a little hard to judge the value for what I paid. It does provide very clear images all the way up to 60x. Like I mention in the 'cons', if it is anything more than a little overcast, it can be a little dark at 45x plus. It feels solid, and is a nice size and weight. Like I said, I'm not sure how it compares with the high end scopes, but it seems to be a pretty good value.

Bought this to use on my shooting box for Bullseye competiton and having only used it a couple of times since purchase I have absolutely no complaints. The view is crystal clear and to adjust focus and set up is a snap! This a great buy.
