Solid 4.5 stars , - Athlon Optics Ares 15-45x65ED Spotting Scope

Bought this spotter for hunting purpose mainly , The only reason I am giving 4.5 stars not 4 stars is because of price and what it delivers on that price, Optically it not perfect but delivers decent results in hunting purpose compared to bird watching. it does have chromatic aberration, i.e purple and green tinge in bright sun light, and yea most of high end also have it to some amount. it is noticeable if you are a picky user like me, but in field work its hardly noticeable. secondly i have noticed that it needs a fine focus ring when you are at 45X magnification, build quality is very good, accidentally also dropped it from 4 ft while mounting on tripod and luckily i had front lens cover on and performing same as new,

Things need to be improved and as customer happy to pay 100 dollars more if they a fine focus ring is also added along with denser HD glass to remove Chromatic aberration, more punchier contrast in image . again bottom line money spend on what you get is a good deal.
