I use this here spottin scope while sitting on the porch in the evenin at the ranch. I enjoy sittin on the porch with my boots propped up on the rail, a nice glass of sippin bourbon In my hand, and watchin the cattle, deer, and other critters movin around just before sunset. On some evenin’s, I forego (Read: delay) the bourbon, and shoot a few targets on the backstop I setup down by the barn. This scope makes both of those evenin activities much more enjoyable. The scope has very clear glass and is well made. I love all of the extra features it comes with. I was very impressed with it right out of the box. As soon as I received it, I set it up to see what I could see and was pleasantly surprised that I could count the thorns on a mesquite tree from almost 200 yards away. In all fairness, them are some pretty good size thorns. Regardless, I can spot deer, cattle, wild hogs, wild turkeys, roadrunners, and even the occasional snake from varyin distances, while still enjoyin my sippin bourbon. This is a very nice spottin scope and does it’s job for me very well. I keep the lens clean and covered when not in use, and so far, it holds up to South Texas ranch life very well.
