On the fence - somewhat disappointed - Vortex Diamondback HD 20-60x85mm Spotting Scopes

I had pretty high expectations for this 20-60x85mm Diamondback Spotting Scope due to the "Vortex" name brand, ownership of 4 Vortex rifle scopes and a few of the 5-star reviews of this product. But, I was a bit disappointed in the overall clarity of paper targets at 100 yards down range. I was shooting 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 rounds onto splatter and paper targets. At 100 yards, the holes were pretty visible, but not super sharp - I would have thought that I would have gotten a crisper image. I previously purchased a Gosky Updated 20-60x80 Spotting Scopes with Tripod on Amazon (for a lot less!) and felt that the image crispness was equal to or better than the Vortex.
The day I went to the range, the wind was blowing pretty good with 5-7 mph wind and occassional 20 mph gusts....
So, I am going to go to the range again to check out the crispness at 100 yards out.

I liked how easily the eyepiece and magnification adjusted with the rings wrapping around the body and eyepiece area.
The neoprene covers for the body, eyepiece and objective are a great feature.....as is the tethered clips to prevent losing them.
I can understand that no tripod was included because most people using this scope will probably have their own.
But, I don't understand why Vortex does not include a carrying bag! Come on Vortex!!! Charge us $5 more for one - because you can get the right fit meant for the scope and mass order them.
