[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 1228731, member: 59915"] I did a little more spotting today in full sun since I will be using this through the day hours also. For as cheap as the scope is, I am pretty happy with it. It is by no means a Swarovski or Zeiss or even a razor but it is of good enough quality to be useful. I have never looked through a real good spotting scope. The most expensive I have ever viewed through is a Vortex Viper and honestly I think this scope is just as good as that one was. It definitely is better than the Vortex Diamondback, and all the Simmons and Bushnells that I have looked through. I'd say better than the leupold sx1 I looked through also. Today in full sun and heat waves I could still see the leaves well enough to distinguish tree species and I could see all the small branches well enough that I'm sure I could field judge a buck or bull. The distance at which I was viewing I am not sure. My rangefinder is only good to 800 and this was well past that. I'd guess approaching 1100. Next chance I get I'll try to range something in the middle from both ends to get a range on it. [/QUOTE]
