VetteRunner's Review of Pentax PF-80ED-A Spotting Scopes ED Glass 80mm Body 70950 / KU70115 Kit
We typically shoot competition at our local club with .22lr out to 100 yards. The need for a good quality scope is critical in distinguishing shot location on a NRA black target from 25 to 100 yards. I paired this with the Pentax 20x-60x zoom eyepiece. This combination offers excellent clarity and contrast with fantastic light transmission. I recently tested this at a midnight shoot where there is minimal lighting and was able to clearly distinguish my shot location, despite the black target background. This is a heavy scope and as such will require a sturdy tripod. This scope successfully competes with other units that are 2-3x it's price.
Pros:
value
eye relief
light transmission
Optical Performance
Cons:
Heavy
Stiff Zoom
Best Used for:
spotting scope
long range shooting
Birdwatching
Would Recommend:
Yes
