Vortex Optics Crossfire HD Spotting Scopes - HD Optical System, Wide Field of View, Helical Focus, Tripod Adaptable, Rubber Armor, Waterproof, Fogproof, Shockproof - Unlimited, Unconditional Warranty

I had a cheaper brand and the eyecup piece got lost at the rifle range one day. The brand started with a G and ended with sky. I sent an email to them saying I wanted to purchase a replaxemet part. Well the customer service was prompt to reply, over and over again asking for pictures and just dragging out the whole ordeal needlessly. They ran me thru so many redundant emails I thought for sure they were just gonna drop ship me the piece and call it day. Instead they finally came back with a price for the part and a crazy high shipping cost. So I told them to go kick rocks and purchased this Vortex with lifetime warranty. This one is far clearer to use which has also improved all the digiphotography I use a scope for. Solid build, light weight, easily transportable . It is easy to mount on tripod for additional stability. Works great. Thanks Vortex for a superior product at a fair price point .

I use this for bird watching and my husband uses it for marksmanship. It's very clear and offers good magnification for the price.

Such a great spotting scope. Easy to use and the focus is perfect.

Used this to zero several rifles having a spotter call my shots. The tripod used was not the best of the best, so the view wasn't stable, but jumpy so I can't speak honestly to the clarity. Quality of tripods and everything else in the world is going to Hell in a hand basket, so it makes me miss the equipment that I had several decades ago. With the spotting scope I purchased, you could really zoom in on the target out at 100yds, but like I said, cheap tripod. I didn't feel like going out to further distances, but I'm sure if you could really stabilize this thing, it probably would do well out to a couple hundred yards. Probably.If I decide to search for a much better tripod, I might update review at that time.

Clear. See shots at 2-300 yards easily.

This spotting scope is very well made and durable. It has a shock proof rubber coating over the entire body of the scope. It comes with a neoprene jacket to further protect it. I needed it to view objects close up at roughly 130’ and it was perfect. The zoom feature gave me an excellent field of view. Focus was clear. Light weight and easy to use. I did need to purchase a tripod head adaptor for my manfrotto tripod.

This is my first spotting scope so I’ve got very little experience with them but I am a wildlife photographer and can tell what a good optic is. For the money this scope is incredible. I’m able to zoom in much farther than any camera lens and the image is still descent around the edges though not perfect.

Outstanding scope, much better than the Bushnell I replaced it with.
