Placed the order and received my spotting scope within several days. Very impressed with the Vortex warehouse. Didn't really think we "needed" the scope, but quickly realized otherwise. BaseMap data showed the caribou we were observing were between 1.4 and 2.1 miles. Scope saved us a lot of walking, as the ones at 1.4 miles we could get a rough estimation on if it was either a cow or a bull. Clarity was great, size is perfect. Only complaint is the neoprene cover makes it rough adjusting the zoom ring, with it being impossible with gloves.
