Review on ๐Ÿ”ญ BARSKA Colorado Black Spotting Scope, 15-40x50 by Stephen Schmidt

BARSKA 15-40x50 Colorado Spotting Scope

This is a good scope for the price but is difficult to focus on quickly and wobbles fairly well at around 30x magnification. I bought this scope because I have jerks who like to park near my house. Some of them are contractors. The other neighbors will probably have their last beer on the way before heading home to their families. But some of them check the neighborhood. I didn't think it would be the best option for night time, but during the day when you need to grab it and then focus on a license plate or someone's face, it could last a full minute or more. A full minute is a long time. I might be able to get through that quicker, but I'll probably grab my 10x binoculars first and then this second one when I have the time. As a former photographer, the optics aren't the best, but they cost under $40, so that's to be expected. However, I could see over the highway which is about 250 meters away. pretty good. on a very cloudy day. So it is useful and worth the price.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Nothing
