I am blown away at the brightness and clarity of this scope. Maybe I shouldn't be given its swarovski top of the line glass but it's hard not to be impressed everytime you put your eye to it. The modularity of this system is really game changing. I can go from a 65mm backpacking scope to my 95mm without buying two separate spotting scopes. In fact it's like getting the second scope for the price of just the lens. I also have the 1.7x magnifier so I can go all the way to 120x if I need to. I can't really overstate the quality and adjustability of this scope system. This will truly enable me to more accurately evaluate animals from a distance and decide if they are the one my client wants to hang their tag on before we commit to climbing that ridge, dropping into that canyon or stalking across that open country to get within range.
