Meade 20 – 60×60 Spotting Scope wіth Backpack
For the money its good!,
The thing I found that makes a spotting scope better than the next is the glass. The glass is decent for the price. I think better than both barska and tasco, more along the lines of a good Bushnell. Taking into account the company makes primarily telescopes I didn’t think they would be that bad. I am not dissappointed at all. Everybody complains about the tripod. Its nowhere near as crappy as many of the others in this price range and actually extends a few feet. But do yourself a favor and buy a decent(but still cheap)tripod from walmart or best buy and use the included tripod for a cheap camera or something more lightwieght. The covers are not really to travel with. If you’re moving, put it in the travel bag. But say you are on the shooting range on a windy day and you just want to keep dust from flying in the lens, they will do fine. I don’t have any marks on my rubber surface and its been through the paces at my shooting range. The surface does provide good grip. The more light the better. As I stated the glass is not the best so light transfer at dawn and dusk become a challenge. But that is what you will get with ALL spotting scopes under $200. But during the regular day, even a partly cloudy day I can see bullet holes on paper targets by a 22LR from 150 yards away. For $70 you can’t beat that. The power and focus adjustments are very stable and stay where you put them. The other reviewer said the picture would wobble if you touch the scope. Again, for the newbs, Anything over 10x will do that. Thats why the tripod is utilized. Even highpower binocs have to be mounted or you’ll give yourself a headache. Keep it hands free and you will see tiny holes from far away just like I do. And it sure as heck saves time and energy walking up and down range to check shots when target shooting or sighting in. Buy it, you can’t go wrong. You can search my name, ThatDudeSirraj on U-Tube and my vid “RangeTalk #4″ will give you a few minutes of hands on.

|You get what you pay for,
I was looking for a sub $100 scope to take to the range (longest distance 100 yards). The scope itself works ok- pretty much what I expected for $70. There were some issues- the lens cap kept falling off (weak springs inside), the outer rubber shell made it looked used (marks and scratches from the factory show up easily), and the back pack was pretty much a back pack (meaning it did not offer a whole lot of protection). The worst of all, as others have mentioned, was the tripod- very cheap and fragile. It gave me a headache looking into the scope because the slightest touch would made the picture vibrate like crazy. I ended up returning it. There is nothing special about this scope- if you do need a 20-60×60 scope, buy it in person at a place like Walmart or something. The reason for this is because a scope they sell there will be similarly priced for a very similar product(and you can return it in person).
