Finally got a spotting scope

[crowski]

I have a few ten metre rifles and pistols. I couldn’t see where anything was going. I just got new glasses and still can’t see the shots. I was using my binoculars but almost dropped them. I ordered this last week. My added expense to air guns.

I picked up the tripod at a camera store. Looking forward to using this. Crow

@crowski I see you went big with the ED glass. I bet it’s got great image quality. What’s the magnification range, 13x - ?

13-39x50. It’s not high power, I only need 45 yds. It looked clean. I had no idea about ED glass. I just asked him for something decent. Don’t like buying things a second time because a of savings on the first buy. Looking forward to using iron sights. Crow

@crowski ED (extra low dispersion) glass is supposed to be superior. I don’t know a lot about it, but I believe that it really shines in high magnifications and I think in low light.

I’d been looked at some of those spotters for months and probably passed up a deal that I should’ve taken a chance on. I’d seen your scope on sale once or twice as well.

Edit: I was wrong about what I remembered concerning ED glass. After reviewing information on it appears that the main benefit of ED glass is that it reduces chromatic aberration. Here’s a link with more information about it used in Hawke binos. https://www.bestbinocularsreviews.com/blog/ed-glass-extra-low-dispersion-worth-cost-07/?amp=1

Tried out the scope and used it with a 300s. This is the way vs. binoculars. So much handier. Awesome clarity.

I’m happy with this. Different game altogether now. Crow
