This is such an improvement over my old scope that it is hard to be objective. Great clarity at near and long distance. Good light transfer. Has already stood up in a great fashion to some tough use/abuse. Focus knobs focus quickly and sharply. See-through case is a challenge to put on.

I'll be honest, I do not have that much experience with spotting scopes, but I do have experience with good glass. I have a pair of Swarovski Swarovisions 8.5x42 EL and most other binoculars pale in comparison to its clarity and light gathering capabilities.

This scope is fantastic. The image across the field is undistorted at all magnifications. The focus apparatus operates smoothly and is conveniently located. The image field darkens a bit as the magnification increases but is still quite bright throughout the range.

I recently purchased this scope and the image quality is amazing! This is my first scope so i dont have anything to compare it to, but i am amazed at how good it works. Even at the highest power the quality is amazing. The no fault warranty makes it even better.
