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.
Pros: High magnification, lightweight, solid feel, size, price, clear
Cons: a little dark if overcast
