Product Description

From the Manufacturer
The Yukon 100x is a revolutionary spotting scope with unique optical characteristics, and includes a tripod. This is the first spotting scope on the market that will deliver crystal clear magnification from 6 power to 100 power with no distortion and no loss of image quality. This exclusive capability is achieved by using two multicoated objective lenses, one with 35mm and the other with 100mm aperture - both sharing a common ocular lens. The enormous light gathering capabilities of the 100mm objective lens makes the picture clear and bright in most viewing conditions, even at dawn or in twilight.

For low magnification observation or for general aiming, the 35mm lens system with linear zooming is used - this will bring objects from 6 times to 25 times closer to the observer. When more magnification is desired, an easy twist of a knob will bring the 100mm objective lens into use, providing high resolution images that are 25 to 100 times closer to the observer.

The unique angled eyepiece is especially useful for observations when the user cannot align his/her viewing position with the scope - for example, when lying in prone position. The offset angled eyepiece adjusts relative to the axis of the scope to allow a user to be more comfortable in any position during observation.

This model comes with Yukon's exclusive 100x Tripod. Designed specifically for this scope, the 100x Tripod provides a base that will eliminate any shake. Eliminating shake is key when viewing objects at high magnifications and will help you make the most out of your 100x. Custom carrying case included.

3 year manufacturer's warranty.

At Yukon Advanced Optics, all our products are fully designed by us, and are unique from any other products in the marketplace. If you're looking for the cutting edge in optical technology, look through Yukon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the Burbs, The Moon or West Texas, October 6, 2004

By	Steve Demko "Steve" (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews

I originally got the Yukon scope because of the price and power and figured why not. I have purchased a 125x binocular once that was a total piece of junk and was skeptical that a scope of 100x power that costs less than $1,500 could be that great. I was in for a big surprise. I ordered the unit without ever seeing it in person and when I open the box the way the scope looked was pretty modern looking. It was different from any scope I have ever seen. The unit is much larger in person than I thought but that is because it has a really big front main lens and a smaller front one. I took it outside to view some things in my back yard and once I figured out the dial on the side changed from a easy to manage 6-25 power scope to a very high magnification from 25-100 like they said on the box. It was amazing. The lower setting allowed me to see thing so clearly and close up even if they things I was seeing were close. I was looking at a neighbor's car down the street and I could read the expiration date of state inspection sticker as clear as if I was 2 inches from it. I showed a friend of mine the scope and he was pretty impressed too. His boss has some land where we used it for watching deer going to the feeder so we don't have to scare them off. I tried it to look at the moon last weekend when the moon was almost full it that was pretty cool. I have never used an astronomical telescope before so I have nothing to compare it to but the moon filled the entire viewing and was very clear and I have never seen it better in a photo in a magazine. Although it is not small it did everything I needed and was not too heavy. I highly recommend this scope to anybody especially if you want the real deal and not get ripped off by paying out the noise for a lesser scope.

5.0 out of 5 stars Affordable scope with excellent performance, March 12, 2007

By	J. Middleton (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently bought this scope and used it for spotting wildfowl on the far side of the reservoir. It focusses clearly, up to the maximum magnification enabling identification of distant birds on the water, even in low light. The field of view is very good, too.Obviously the image loses some luminosity at higher magnifications, but that is physics. I used it on a tripod, or just propped on a parapet and that worked fine. Presumably the scopes costing around a thousand GBP have better coating, but this one compares well with my recollection of looking through one of them. I quickly got used to switching from the 6-25x to 25-100x modes. Very happy with it and would recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool, October 25, 2004

By	John - See all my reviews

I was at the range this weekend and using my buddy Dave's scope. This was really cool. When shooting at a 400 yards i could see my shots crystal clear. I ordered one just now. I wish it came with a full size tripod for my porch but nothing is perfect. This is a good scope though.
