BARSKAColorado 30-90x90mm Straight Spotting Scope with Tripod – Waterproof, Fully Coated Optics, Sunshade, and Carrying Cases

This is a great scope at a very reasonable price. I tested it once on the shooting range and it performed superbly. Very clear view close and far. I could see holes from .223 on white paper at 100 yards on black or white part of the target. Unfortunately I could not see any holes in the orange bulls eye, but that could just be my marksmanship. I could see very clearly at over 500 yards, which is as far as that particular range extends where my view was blocked by a side of the hill. I could see holes on a splatter targets about 300 feet away. Do you realize it comes with a tripod at this price? Really nice tripod, too.Tripod and scope are very light and relatively compact. They each fit into their own zippered bag. I am pleased with this purchase, I see no faults with this scope or tripod.

Great scope, but I must agree with the others... the supplied tripod is weak and flimsy. I used one of my heavier tripods to make up for it.At 100yds, you can easily see the target when zoomed at 30-60x. At 90x, it becomes slightly blurry. 200yds, same thing.I bought some bird splatter targets and you can clearly see what's you're hitting and long distances.My only complaint is the front monocle cover. Do not overtighten the cover. If you do, and you try to unscrew the cover, you will end up unscrewing the entire front monocle. I had to very carefully grip the monocle with a pair of pliers, grip the cover with a antislip pad, and separate the pieces together.

Great value for the money. I upgraded from binoculars, to a table top spotter 20-60x60 and now this large tripod mounted 30-90x90. I absolutely love this larger spotter. I have enjoyed getting up close visuals of my nesting birds and have even spotted foxes and deer from a distance. This is not good for following running animals, at least not for me, however to sit and watch birds in and out of nests or on the water it is great. Good clarity on the lenses, travel bag was included. One nice feature is that it is waterproof so you can set up on a misty day or even stay out in slight rainy weather and not have to worry about water damage. Would highly recommend for an avid backyard birder. There maybe stronger magnification spotters out there but for myself this is perfect.

What a piece of crap! Definitely not worth a penny of what I paid! DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS AT ALL!!! Tripod broke just trying to set it up and I wasn’t even rough with it. Optics is horrible...can see clearly for a couple hundred yards and that’s it after that everything is blurry even with adjusting the focus. Threw it in all in the trash where it needs to be!

The tripod has phenomenal build quality for the price, it easily stabilizes the optic in moderate winds while fully extended. I stand at 6’2” and it comes right up to my eye. Very stable when not extended all the way. The scope itself is great for the price. Lightweight and very clear and easy to focus. I recommend getting a higher quality case to transport if you’re using it in the woods like I am.

I bought it used which was a big reason for my poor review. I guess things don't get quality checked when returned. Found loose rod and screw clanking around inside. This may have caused the wild damage on the outer lens. Item is a good purchase at the used price without the damage.The two stars are for how far out I was able to see. For fun I used it on the moon and got a great view. My photo dose not do the view justice. It was last minute and I was holding my phone with my hand. The tripod seemed cheap but sturdy and had no isses for what it was.

I purchased this scope to view bullet holes on targets up to 200 yards. My targets are blue silhouettes. If the target is in sunlight, I can see the holes. If overcast, it is very difficult. I suppose "splatter" targets would have been better.Quality of the scope was fair. The glass is a bit wavy, but still usable up to the 200 yards. Beyond that.... I doubt it.Also, the tripod is very cheap and flimsy. It does have a standard screw connector, so it could be used with a camera. I had a Nikon tripod and used that.

I gave this to my daughter for her birthday last December. She says it works great. She stated it was easy to assemble and can see quite far with a clear view. My daughter is an avid birder and uses it to spot birds, they live on the side of a mountain high up, so she has been getting a lot of use from it. I was very pleased with the price and the quick shipping.
