Who needs a spotting scope

Post by madman4570 »

For anyone liking to (look at stuff)have found a very nice unit.

In fact this above is what I now use instead of lugging my 20 year old 30-60X Leupold Gold Ring spotter/stand.

Nikon Action Extreme ATB-------------------16 X 50

Can see tiny insects on a tree stump @ 100yds :lol:

Guys------unreal and they are sure nice for watching most other stuff too.

About 10 years ago the wife bought me the Nikon Action Series (non-Extreme) 12X50 and those also have been absolutely fantastic and they work fine at even close distances and those also like up too 100yds-----work fine for spotting targets.
But these 16X50 EX new ones--------sweet

Since I shoot most my stuff open sights--------------------------these are handy and serve multiple purposes.

Very reasonable and they are clear and they adjust perfect.

I thought this WAS a spotting scope; but they're binos?

I bought a Minox 15-30x spotting scope and sold my binos; couldn't stand them around my neck.

Binoculars work fine if they are tripod mounted.
Having to pick them up and find the target after each shot is a pain.
