Much better than i anticipated. - Burris 20-60x80mm Landmark Spotting Scope 300119 300123

I have a Leupold Sequioia in 20-60x80, with a similar kit (tripod,case). The only difference is an angled eyepiece. I did not expect the Burris to hold its own at 1/2 the price of the Leupold, but I was in for a surprise. I was on my patio at night focusing on an office building 1000 yards away. With the Leupold, at maximum power, I could see inside a dimly lit office and picked out a computer screen and 2 orange blobs on the office walls. Could not focus on these clearly. I set up the Burris, and I resolved the 2 orange blobs as Haloween Pumpkin decorations. I could pick out the details of the pumpkins faces, even though the blinds were half closed.
Pros: Optics quality. Focus. Light transmission.
Cons: Tripod a little flimsy. Wish tube was rubber coated.
