Budget spotting scope met expectations - Konus Konuspot 65 15-45x65mm Spotting Scope

This spotting scope performs OK for a budget quality product. I've tried other inexpensive scopes that unacceptable but stopped looking and kept this Konuspot-65. The eyepiece was stiff when I recieved it and it needed a drop of silicon lube to rotate freely. The horizontal rotation lock on the tripod stripped right away and now the scope can 'pan' freely, not a big deal-breaker. The scope itself is competent enough to meet my needs of spotting a shooting target at 100 yards.
Pros: price, usability
Cons: tripod quality
