Vortex Optics Crossfire HD Spotting Scopes - HD Optical System, Wide Field of View, Helical Focus, Tripod Adaptable, Rubber Armor, Waterproof, Fogproof, Shockproof - Unlimited, Unconditional Warranty

Well made, solid construction, and clear beautiful lenses. I waited for it to go on sale, but still a great deal anyway.

Excellent and very clear, did great on my deer hunt. Glassed a buck with them from close to a mile away as you can see in the picture.

I had a cheaper brand and the eyecup piece got lost at the rifle range one day. The brand started with a G and ended with sky. I sent an email to them saying I wanted to purchase a replaxemet part. Well the customer service was prompt to reply, over and over again asking for pictures and just dragging out the whole ordeal needlessly. They ran me thru so many redundant emails I thought for sure they were just gonna drop ship me the piece and call it day. Instead they finally came back with a price for the part and a crazy high shipping cost. So I told them to go kick rocks and purchased this Vortex with lifetime warranty. This one is far clearer to use which has also improved all the digiphotography I use a scope for. Solid build, light weight, easily transportable . It is easy to mount on tripod for additional stability. Works great. Thanks Vortex for a superior product at a fair price point .

Overall I'm pleased with the scope. At low power it has a bright clear image with good color. The image is clear from edge to edge. No slack in any of the gearing (focus knob or magnification setting). Material construction seems solid. Love the lifetime warranty! I can mitigate the cons but my solution costs extra $ Pros: Fantastic clarity, Several rotations of the focus wheel for fine focus ability. Heavy duty rubber dust covers (lens caps). At low power (20x) can easily spot a child's tennis shoe at 800m. Cons: No true storage case. Scope comes in two parts (body & eyepiece). Eyepiece locking ring must be re-tightened from time to time forcing foam condom (fitted cover/case) removal. Objective lens cap flutters in 15 mph wind causing scope to wobble on medium grade tripod. Cons of ALL spotting scopes: Focus not as sharp at high power. Image gets dimmer as power increases. Mitigations: Buy premium HD tripod with fluid head. Buy hard case for storage and transport.

nice scope for the money. able to view wildlife from hundreds of yards away

Good scope for the price. Was spotting elk easily out at 1000 yards and was very clear.

It's been fantastic so far (1 day). I took a very bad video and picture (I don't have the phone mount). The picture and video don't really do the scope justice, but I wanted to show what I've done so far and those things are pretty much the extent. A red tail hawk was feeding her juveniles outside my house the first time I set up this scope. My only complaint is the protective pad that comes with the scope covers the locking screw that adjusts the angle of the eyepiece. It's fine if I leave it at one angle, the problem is my kids want to see through it too and for them I need to adjust the eyepiece. If you are solo using the scope, that shouldn't bother you very often, and it still works its just not simple/inconvenient, but you can choose not to put on the padded cover all together so it still gets 5 stars for the price of $299. Also in every situation I have used this scope the straight angle scope would have been a nightmare. I almost bought the straight scope. But viewing a hawks nest, or the moon--most tripods would never ever be tall enough not to be scrunches over hurting your neck and back. Do yourself a favor and get the angled scope unless you always plan to look down from high points. *Edit to the review saying this isn't clear when not at minimum power, I have to wonder if that person knew it is a manual focus? You have to focus the scope manually it focuses pretty good at maximum zoom, maybe not as good as minimum but decent. *Edit #2 9/5/2024 Near three months I've had this scope and to be honest... I take it Everywhere. I live near a lot of public land, I live 5 minutes from a Wildlife Management Area, and within 20 minutes of another WMA, 30 minutes of yet another. I take it fishing, I take it hunting, I take it to sight in rifles and I take it to the back porch. I watch birds, I watch fish jump, I watch my wife's rifle groupings. For me, this has a value that is near priceless. It's good enough to gain perspective far out of normal reach. Maybe I should have bought the higher quality scopes? Possibly, but if this isn't good enough I'm not sure anything could be.

Wonderful product, the light comes through well, very stable, easy to use, carry, and adjust, durable, and great to use in the hunting blind.

Visione nitida e luminosa. Senso di robustezza, ghiere fluide. Fornito con custodia morbida. Il mio utilizzo è in poligono

great clarity, easy to adjust, sturdy and great quality scope, perfect for shooting range

For my money, the Vortex Crossfire HD 20-60x80 spotting scope is a value investment for both its cost and quality. It falls well within the budget-friendly side of spotting scopes, but it provides clarity, image stability, a wide field of view, and powerful 20-60x magnification at a very fair price.

Vortex optics are the best on the market. They have crisp clear imagery, the zoom and focus are smooth and firm. This spotting scope is a premium quality scope. It mounts to most camera stands really easy with the built in mount. It's a breeze to adjust the viewing angle. Great for bird watching. And you can't beat the vortex warranty

Excellent product (20-60x80) and I love the neoprene cover. Sorry for the shaky video, image is crystal clear on a sturdy tripod.
