 Excellent scope Jul 17, 2010
Excellent scope, for the money. Able to see a .22 caliber hole in the black of a paper target at 200 yards. Can't beat it, for the money. Compares well to much more expensive scopes. The tripod is junk. If you plan on using the scope past 75 yards, get a decent tripod. The carrying and protective cases are nice. I'd definitely buy it again.
 Quality optics at affordable price Jul 15, 2010
I've only had the opportunity to use this scope a few times so far, and only once for shooting, but have been very satisfied with it thus far. The optics are clear and easy to use, the scope is lightweight, and it appears to be well made. The optical adjustments are also easy to manipulate. The only shortcomings that I noticed is the lack of a taller tripod, which I've purchased separately, and a narrow field of view at the higher magnification levels. This I expected, though, without going to a much more expensive scope. I can't attest to the waterproof capabilities of the scope, since I wouldn't normally use this in inclement weather and haven't been caught in the rain with it yet.
Took it to Yellowstone to watch wildlife Jul 07, 2010
I bought this in May 2010 to take on our trip West to Yellowstone NP, Custer State Park, Badlands NP and the Grand Tetons. I watched 2 grizzlies eating a bison carcus about 100 yards away and at 40 magnification was able to see all the teeth, claws and their hair blowing in the breeze. So it has great detail. The wildlife can be quite a distance away so the extra magnification and a good tripod worked well. Also stopped in Wyoming at Devils Tower and used it to find climbers while parked at the entrance to the park. Works best to start at 20 magnification, find the object and then zoom in closer at higher magnification.

Excellent Value for a Range Spotting Scope Apr 08, 2010
I am an North South Skirmish Association member, shooting competitively at paper and breakable targets with black powder in antique guns. This shooting is done at outdoor ranges, and in all kinds of weather conditions. The normal distances are 50 and 100 yards. Spotting scopes are essential and must be ruggedly made, waterproof, with good eye relief, good light collection, good clarity of picture and good anti-fog aspects. The Bushnell Trophy 20-60X65 meets all of these criteria, and in fact performs much better than numerous other scopes I have tried costing many times more than this scope costs. Built-in extendable sun screen and screw in front lens protector are nice features. Hard case is not much but well padded with foam inside. Soft case, which is the one you will use to carry onto the range is decently made and of rugged fabric. This is an excellent value for someone needing a spotting scope out to 100 yards, and may do well for those shooting beyond that distance. The only drawback is the stupid little tripod that comes with the scope. Simply throw that accessory into the trash and replace it with something that will actually support the scope.
