Most Helpful Positive Review Best backpacking scope. Period.
This is around the 8th spotting scope I've owned, always in search of the perfect backpacking scope, and I've finally found it.

Great compact spotter

by Brian in VA, from VA, United States Written on February 24, 2018
I bought this and compared it with my Nikon ED50 with the 13-30x eyepiece. The Kowa is noticeably better in resolution than the Nikon. With the Kowa, I was able to resolve 22 caliber bullets holes in the white of the target out to 400 yards. I was impressed.
