Crossfire HD Spotting Scopes (20-60x80 Angled)

Absolutely perfect for western hunting as well as range days. It's relatively light weight for it's size so I don't mind packing it on trips and it's sturdy enough I'm not too worried about it. Overall the image quality is really good. I know there's better but this is remarkably clear at the price point. The brightness is exceptional at mid-day or in sunlight, at dusk it can dim out a little, but the clarity is still there so it works. If this is where your budget is, do not hesitate to get this, it's fantastic.

Fantastic scope and affordable, 100% recommended, but hold on. I'm a birder, sometimes I go on hikes before I can get to a viewing place where I can set up, which means hiking, and a backpack. This scope is absolutely fantastic, but it's surprisingly huge, the pictures do not do it justice. I have the 12-36x50 and I use it more often because it's easier to pack. If you have a spot near your house, or want to look out the window, or if you won't stray too far from your car then get the big ones, no question. If you have a hike or size is a consideration then I think the 50 will suit best. Just my opinion, nothing more.

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.

I bought this scope for my upcoming trip to Yellowstone. I had a previous scope that began with a G and ended with Sky. I liked that scope but my new Vortex scope is brighter and sharper. I would recommend this scope to anyone that needs a nice but not too expensive scope.

Good product, as advertised. Worth the money and fast shipping

Vortex seems to have exceptionally clear glass.

Would buy another

love it

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

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.

Still working out all the views but so far very happy with it
