Outstanding spotting scope - Vortex Viper HD 20-60x80 Spotting Scopes

I purchased this Vortex Viper spotting scope as a Christmas present for my wife during Cyber Week. The scope was on sale at a nearly 50% discount and was an exceptional value and made me feel a little better about adding the Vortex Pro GT Pro 2 tripod to the order. The focus knobs are are a great and worthwhile feature and the images we are getting of geese sitting on the ice in front of our home are incredible. The clarity and magnification of the scope is remarkable and we have also tried it once as a telescope with some success. A little tough to find objects when using as a telescope but the angled eyepiece is a great feature for night sky and normal viewing. The lens covers and protective cover are nice accessories and the scope does well with the Vortex tripod.
