Versatile spotting scope at an affordable price - Vortex Viper HD 15-45x65 Spotting Scopes

My primary mission for this spotting scope is viewing targets at the shooting range. Looking for a scope with good clarity without spending a fortune.

I used my new scope at the range last weekend. It was a cloudy overcast day with intermittent mist. Found a Velbon mini pro fluid pan head tripod in the closet, so I used this with the scope. It worked extremely well.

The Vortex Viper HD glass allowed me to clearly see 7.62 impacts at 200 yds. This wasn't a clear high visibility day, so I was happy. I like being able to rotate the scope adjusting the eyepiece position. The dual focus rings were easy to use and effective. It came with all lense covers. I tied the front lense cover to a loop on the carry case using light cord. You will have to wrestle the carry case on.

The other night we had clear night with a full moon. I went out on the back deck and focused on the moon. The detail was amazing. I'm considering a iPhone attachment for photos.
