Perfect scope
I've gotten to use this for both spotting impacts and matches and as well recording bullet impacts from my own shots. Pair this spotting scope with a phone scope and get to recording or checking impacts without the need to walk several hundred yards. Highly recommend this for any shooter.

Disappointed
Given the price and size of this scope, I expected much more clarity and resolution. I was unable to see bullet splatter at 700 yards, and it wasn’t any better than my 30 year old Bushnell. I could barely see 22 holes at 200 yards. It is heavy and the focus ring jiggles the scope. Although there...

vortex for the win
Have ordered many vortex optics and have always been very satisfied with the quality. This spotting scope is no different, match it with their warranty and you can't beat it

Perfect scope for my needs at a very reasonable price point.
I was able to put this scope to use immediately upon receiving it. It was and will be used mostly for bird watching and the clarity is fantastic. I used it to observe a large mixed flock of waterfowl feeding and loafing in a picked corn field and was able to see details and pick out individual birds that I would never have even able to see with binoculars alone. Instant game changer. Looking forward to using it to digiscope in the future. The almost unconditional warranty that Vortex has played a big role in this purchase and Optics Planet had the best price by far. Keep in mind this is a large scope so carrying it around is a little challenging. If you are looking for something super portable or lightweight this may not be the best match for you.

meets my needs
Didn't want to spend thousands on a scope.. Wanted something for on the deck and hunting spotting. Was in the budget I was ok with. Adjustments work great I like that it has a sleeve/cover that has built in lens covers. Can't fall into the glass and forgotten.
I have had a very basic inexpensive scope in the past. I was a little surprised at the size of it. But it's a lot more scope. Sure it's pretty comparable to others was just a bit surprised. Don't consider that a flaw. Just not what I was use to. And I'm fine with it.
Image quality is great.

Vortex Viper 20-60x85
Since retirement, my wife has become quite the bird nerd heading to different places in South Carolina. Often times we show up to very open areas with only 10x binos, and they just couldn't get the job done. With our new Viper we can zoom in on bird details with extreme clarity. The adjustment knobs have just enough tension to hold them in place yet are very smooth. I've always said buy as high of quality glass as you can afford. With the sale price from Optics Planet, we were able to go up a level in quality and it's been an amazing view!
Pros:
- Great edge to edge clarity. Easy setup, came with a neoprene cover. An excellent piece of equipment!
Cons:
- None
Best Used for:
- Open areas with 100 plus yards of viewing.
Would recommend: Yes
Great Spitting Scope
This scope is great! Image stays sharp with magnification. Solid build and mounts easy to multiple tripods. Also appreciate the interchangeable eyepiece.
Pros:
- durable
Cons:
- None
Would recommend: Yes
Big and heavy
Purchased this to replace a cheap angled scope from amazon. So much better quality (and so much more money). But I imagine I'll never need another one. Really big and heavy, but I don't plan on hiking with it. Bought a good tripod and window mount for it, so I got the straight version. Others mentioned using the harbor freight apache case. I was afraid that wouldn't work with the straight version. But works with the eyepiece removed. Fits perfect with the original scope foam in the packaging. Just have to trim the foam that comes with the Apache case to fill up the remaining space. Really amazing what you can see with it. I could pick out deer miles away.
Would recommend: Yes
High quality mechanism
Arrived securely packaged.
Looking forward to taking this spotting scope to the range. Purchased spotting scope along with a VORTEX VIPER 85mm spotting scope MOA Reticle eyepiece. Trying to learn how to range with MOA hash marks.
I have tried it out and the VIPER spotting scope in conjunction with the MOA reticle is accurate for ranging.
Glass is clear. Focusing is smooth -- easy to turn the focus dial.
Extremely high-quality lenses for the price.
Sturdy. Heavy.
Tripod used with this needs to be sturdy to bear the weight of the spotting scope.
Easily mounts on my tripod.
Soft protective sleeve shroud is included.
Easy to assemble. I had to get used to the bayonet-mount eyepiece connection to the body. Once understood, it works well. A quick/convenient lens-change mechanism.
I will recommend this product to others.
