Manage your expectations. - SIG SAUER Oscar3 10-20x30 Compact Spotting Scope

I purchased this without being able to get my hands on one IRL. Looking at all the data and reviews online it certainly seemed to fit my criteria for what I wanted and I'm happy with it, but you must manage your expectatios. As a start this is a sub $500 optic. It's not got the best glass you'll ever look through but it does punch above its price tag in quality. Don't expect to be reading small print books at 200m, but identifying an animal or person and such at extended ranges (700m+) should be easy. What helps an absolute ton is the anti shake feature which I had doubts about before purchase but does work well and helps a ton. Especially considering the small size and lightweight of it which are both impressive to me as well as to folks who I've let test it. The controls are intuitive and work well. The fabric case it comes in is garbage. You'll definitely want a different means to carry it.
