As any real shooter knows, optics are expensive and you get what you pay for. If you need a good, cheap optic for checking stationary targets at the range this will work. If you need to rapidly focus on moving game at long distances, this wouldn't be my choice. The field of view under full magnification is extremely tight (at 100 feet, it's about the size of a doorknob) and the focusing ring all the way at the objective lens is kind of awkward and clunky. But it does have a nice case and decent tripod. It's a range spotter, nothing more, nothing less. If you want to save your money for what's ACTUALLY ON YOUR RIFLE, this may also be a decent choice.
Pros: Lightweight, good hardcase
Cons: Weird focusing mechanism, tight field of view at full power
