This scope is very cheaply made. If you can get it for $50, go ahead. I'm looking at fixing one for a local school, and am so far un-impressed with the build quality. I can't believe they sold them originally for $140.

Totally not worth the money I spent, not to mention the tripod and mini/guide scope were broken, but I was too lazy to send it back in time. When I finally set it up, no matter what setting I had it on, it was not much more powerful than my little binocs.

My wife got this at work for her 5 year anniversary as well. I regret asking her to get it. I've used dozens of telescopes and could never get this one to work at all and I do mean at all. I put it in the closet for a few years. My child is asking for one so I pulled it out. One knob was broken off. Still couldn't get anything to work and in less than 5 minutes another knob fell off. I'm never buying any Bushnell product again.

I got this as a gift a couple years ago for my 5 yr anniversary at work. I tried it a time or two back then, then put it back in the box. I pulled it out tonight to try it with my kids, and the focus gear stripped. This has about an hour of use on it total, and has been stored indoors, it its original packaging. When i tried to focus it, I felt a grinding, and as it extended I can see the teeth on the track are stripped off. Now it won't move at all.

I didn't pay a cent for it, and I'm still annoyed!
