BARSKA 15-40x50 Colorado Spotting Scope
The BARSKA 15-40x50 Colorado Spotting Scope is easy to use and perfect for any outdoor activity. It is a really cool looking scope at a reasonable price. The 15X zoom level is very easy to use and focus, however the most people will struggle with the 40X. Although it’s an affordable, entry-level spotting scope, the BARSKA 15-40x50 Colorado Spotting Scope features fully coated optics with porro prism system, shock absorbing rubber armor and large 50 mm objective lens. The highest clarity range is at 150 yards. Beyond 150 yards, the image will naturally start to become blurry. The tripod is very flimsy and will not hold the scope for steady image viewing. Overall The Barska 15-40x50 Colorado Spotting Scope is a really attractive and well-built scope which is simple to use and would be ideal for a beginner or casual observer and for the money you can't go wrong.
