5.0 out of 5 stars Great scope for the money, February 1, 2009

This review is from: Alpen 20-60x60 w/45 degree eyepiece Spotting Scope (Sports)

I purchased this scope to use to see the targets at a rifle match. I am in the Marine Corps and the scopes that were provided were old and often cloudy. The Alpen scope was crystal clear and it was the envy of the other competitors. I only utilized the 20x power setting, but could see the shot spotters easily from the 500 yard line. Lastly, the ability to rotate the scope around the mounting ring inorder to move the eyepiece to a more user friendly postion was also a big advantage over a few guys that had straight scopes. I would gladly recommend the scope to others.
