What a pleasant surprise. For years, I've watched other guys lug around these bulky, 5 to 10-pound spotting scopes in suitcases so they can see if their bullets hit the bullseye at 100yds. After reading a few positive reviews, I opted to give this pint-size scope a try. It is a definite winner! It focuses easily and is as clear as any scope I've ever used. It is a straight view as opposed to the scopes with eye pieces that angle upward toward the eye. This product is a rare combination of bargain price and quality. The tripod is also good quality. This scope comes with a nylon carrying case that fits nicely into the side pocket, end up, of my SMALL range bag - and it only takes up half of the pocket at that. I hang my ear protectors over the portion sticking up. This way you don't have to start unzipping and digging into your bag for ear protectors (MANDATORY) before entering an indoor range. It weighs less than one box of some ammunition or a brick of .22LR.

I bought this scope to check my shooting in the pistol yard at 25 meters using standard ISSF targets. Even the little holes made with a .22 bullet are visible with this nice scope. Previously I used a 10x monocular but it was not a big help. I am really happy with this purchase.


3 out of 5 stars It's OK.   May 24, 2007

This works. I wish there were a zoom feature. We use it for 50 yard viewing with no problems. It works well in the rain too.
