Or prove you were original owner send. And they’ll repair you know. What vortex is truly. All about providing customer service after the purchase the following year vortex rolled out the 20 by 60 by 85 in a straight model which happens to be my personal favorite for all my spotting needs but.
This year they rounded out the line with two smaller versions of the razor spotter the new 16 by 48 by 65 come in. Both straight and angled models. And the super compact 11 by 33 by 50 for those of. That are concerned about every ounce the sixteen by 48 by 65 model is a great full size HD spotter. That packs the same characteristics of its bigger brother the 85 millimeter. It has Triple A pro chromatic lens system which provides high-definition views across the entire field of view. This means there’s no chromatic aberration making all colors very clear. And vivid all the way out to the edges. It has proprietary XR anti-reflective coatings. And is fully multi-coated on.
All air to glass lens surfaces which increase light transmission for maximum brightness the coarse. And fine adjustment knobs allowed. You get on target quickly.

Ido a lot of back country hunting and be able to take a really lightweight scope but still have a spotting scope with. And only have away 25 ounces is pretty perfect so the alternative of packing the 85. You know you get a little bit better glassing but at the same time weights a big issue. When you’re hiking you know 5 to 10 miles a day so razor HD 50 millimeters for me is definitely my favorite. One of the things I noticed right off. Ilike the best was a smooth focusing when you’re trying to focus long distance. It isn’t smooth that’s the scope would be shaky. And it’s hard to focus with a moving object out there. This was just incredibly smooth the vortex spot scope is just crystal clear it’s been fantastic. It in to really look out at the elk. And the deer it’s been just spot-on the clarity is just phenomenal. And lightweight easy to pack easy to get into the back woods it’s been it’s been fun. You still have all your optics. You know in terms of the spotting scope but the fraction of the weight. You know it’s pack able it’s easy to get to.
And it’s a running gun piece of equipment. That I’ll just never leave home without.
So big ad here today. We are looking at the Simmons spotting scope that’s the pelican style case right here it’s got a rubber gasket it’s very nicely made I’m sure it’s not quite as expensive as a pelican but well you’re on you’re in the ballpark here but very nice mark Simmons. And I’m sure it’s made by. Another company you can see it’s a foam line it’s got a nice divider in here. And inside this case. We have a Simmons spotting scope right here. This is brand-new and Hertz the tripod court tripods are not just taking it out briefly. And looked at a tripod looks pretty nice but. It is a shorter tripod which. It should be for a spotting scope. And I’m gonna talk today about basically. This spotting scope works. What you can do with. And why you need and the other thing I just wanted to say about. It quick it is the magnification the objective lens is 60 millimeters the magnification is 20 by 60 so there’s a lot of zoom on. This thing so it’s basically like a small telescope. Iwas a kid I used to have a swift telescope actually my mother still has. It a 20 by 60 telescope. Iused to love to look at the Stars especially the moon with. Icould really pull up the moon with. This could also be used as telescope. You could stargaze with. You know and definitely you’re gonna get.
Some great shots in the moon with. We have deployed the Simmons spotting scope right here. And comes with that we’ve unscrewed. It just a it comes with. All lens covers you know that’s for the eyepiece. It comes for there’s the objective. This is the best thing about. This scope and we’ve basically deployed. It on my portable camera tripod right here just. Idon’t feel like sending up a 60-inch by pot a tripod. And 10 inches snow came down to look through. It so we’ll just go over the quick functions of. This is your focusing knob right here so. When you’re looking through. It you’re just gonna spin. That to focus this is your magnification right here on the top of. And Basie you’re just gonna rotate. That dollars twenty thirty forty-five. All the way up to 60.
One thing to know about the spotting scope right here is. You look through it on twenty magnification it’s really easy to look through. You dial up the magnification the the your pupil. You can see through. It gets smaller and smaller. And at sixty you’ve got a later. Even on twenty you’ve got to get your eye right up to. This it’s like binoculars. You basically putting your eye right up to. It so on a tripod like. This is a flimsy cheap tripod but. It is light I don’t care. It gets banged up or fried destroy. It’s difficult to look through. This scope right here. You know on sixty magnification. You really have to have. It on a stable tripod. This neck down it would be better. You know even your eye bumping into. It moves all around on sixty so much easier at twenty but it’s nice to have. That extra magnification. And we’re gonna try to see. We can get this is very difficult to do.
Idon’t know if that’s going to come out but that’s on twenty magnification. You can see what we’re looking at right here. All the way down there yeah that’s a little bit so. You can see and I’ve got. It focused on and those birch trees down there so basically. What I really wanted to talk about today is why you need. This spotting scope right here basically I’ve wasted a lot of time. And money on ammunition my brother. Itrying to cite in rifles with scopes just shooting and. We don’t know where the bullets hitting we don’t. Even know where it’s going I mean. It was fifty I think two dollars for this on eBay brand-new shipping was like thirteen bucks the total purchase price to. This was I think the $65. You know it came with. This beautiful case right here.
That I’m really happy with the divider it’s nice and cushioned it’s waterproof it’s got a rubber gasket in here. You know for the money. This is gonna save me a lot of time right here. And provide good accurate rifle shooting and the other thing about. It can be used as a telescope too. You know you wanted to zoom up look at its mountaintop. Whatever let your kids use. It excellent fields. You know spotting scope also just for nature lover so. You just want to walk around. And carry something and. You know look at wildlife from a distance. You know what you want right here. You know excellent and the other cool thing about. It’s light and that’s a big plus um I’m definitely in the habit of. Whatever I like to buy. Something big I like to buy.
It heavy I like long barrels. Ilike heavy barrels like big blocks. And cars it’s uh it’s tough. You know but this is light. This is very cool right here too to have around so go out. One stop wasting your time at the range it’s not billed to spot your shots I’m amazed. That people and ranges. That you’ll see like 50 guys lined up. And like you’ll see two spotting scopes. You now and then you see a bunch of guys standing behind him just. You know be asking and doing nothing you know put them on a scope. You know it really has been way too long for me to. You know to waste time — did. Ibought one of these but I’m happy. And the other thing I like a lot is look at the leopold’s -. Ithink a Leopold’s are really cool. You know great bang for your buck the Leopold’s they’ll probably work better on the eye thing and. That is a little tough right there but. Ibet an you know good prone position of sitting down on a chair on a bench tripod.
It comes with probably about 12 at 16 inches tall. When he things all deployed it’s probably pretty stable so thanks for watching folks go buy a spotting scope period.
Ifeel like and you’re on a budget. You don’t want to spend 200 bucks 300 bucks on a spotting scope but it’s still nice to have. This great deal on a Simmons twenty by sixteen my sixty millimeter spotting scope at Cabala’s. It was on sale for 5999 take a look at. It with $10 mil and rebate I’ll go ahead. And show what it looks like sea. We get an idea of how. It functions you know. If it’s worth the money. All right so first things first. It comes with two caps. Each side it’s got one with a point. This pointless little compass in. It still protects the lens. And it’s got this rear screw off cap. Iwent ahead and bought a mount on Amazon it’s a Panasonic male Polaroid. Ican handle up to six pounds so it’s probably designed for those old school. You know camcorders. You had to fit on your shoulder. And wear a neck brace but it’s got. This little quick detach thing so let’s see. We can get this thing to work. They kind of speed it in there.
We go unlatch it poor camera work on my part. And then this is the scope so hopefully. We can see a little bit of somewhere I’m had to try. Another way I also got. This on Amazon the same time. Igot my um tripod for the scope. This is a ghost guy cellphone attachment for spotting scope. You can use it for a telescope. Or for scope on a rifle I’m attached. This set up the scope the right way. And give you an idea of what it looks like with the ghost guy attached the sentence 20 by 60 by 60 millimeter spotting scope. This tripod is not as heavy-duty as. Ithought it was going to be but. It was $12 I don’t care I’ll do. What I wanted to do. We have to do is send. Some rounds downrange. You can see homes All right so part of the review. While taking their shots. Iwas actually trying to cite in my Strike Eagle 1 by 6 on my JD machine Tech Frank.
And rifle I just got new scope rings from night force for the strike eagle so. Iwant to test you know. What we could do with. Iactually kind of like. It I’ll take a look at the target coming up on the target so tell. We went start off in the center. We went to the head made. Some adjustments then. Iwent over here fairly quickly didn’t give a shit went down here realize. That just a little bit too high came down here centered. It up a little bit and finished with my final three shot group. Iknow it’s not impressive but it’s. What I can do with the rifle. And the ability this is actually. One of those things I’m planning on working on quite a bit. This Cup coming year to get. More proficient at but. Ifeel like the scope on the big target. You could see everything fairly quickly on a little target.
It was hitting on green. Ihad a hard time seeing it my first impression the Simmons 20 by 60 by 60 millimeter spotting scope. Or decent I mean it’s gonna do. What I want to do I don’t went on sighting in. Any scopes any further. Then 100 yards so for what I need for it’s going to work just fine after thinking about. It for a second I was actually looking through my cell phone attached to the ghost guy for the scope in order to see those holes. Iactually just looked at. It with my bare eye. It was actually a lot easier to see so. Iwas surprised how much of a difference. It made have factored. That into my thinking when.
Iwas down there showing you guys the targets but yeah. You can see it fairly well for the money. Imean it’s gonna cost. Me fifty-three dollars with tags after my rebate comes in its worth. If you’re looking for a low-cost option for a spotting scope with decent glass I’m not going to say the best glass with decent glass the Simmons scope Pro Sport is Simmons Pro Sport is going to be a fairly decent option for you hope. You guys enjoyed the video. You have any questions leave them in the comment box. Iwill reply as smart-ass Utley as.
Hey guys I’m quarter shooting time calm today we’re going to take a look at a loophole a sex to keen eye to spotting scope the scope features 2560 X magnification. It has an 80 millimeter objective lens. That gives you stunning high definition. And vivid colors let’s take a closer look here. We go get the SX to keen eye to buy loopholed first we’re going to look at its magnification here’s 25 X. You twist all the way out to 60 X. These feature a twist up iCub. It comes in either a straight eyepiece. Or the angle one is the angle. It takes some getting used to. If you’re used to the straights but. This has a cool feature right here. You just loosen that a little bit. You could actually push. That to accommodate yourself a really handy feature right there come down to the end of the scope. And it’s got the lens shape. You just pull that really takes the glare away on a sunny day overall the loopholed SX — keen eye — is a pretty darn good scope here we’ve really enjoyed. It out in Colorado it is great on the archery range. You get a chance to check. These out check them out for more information go to loop hold calm.
Aspotting scope is the essential part of your arsenal especially. If you’re a trophy hunter. And definitely if you’re a sheep hunter. It allows you to judge your quarry from miles away as well as plan your stock. Some things you need to take into consideration before making a purchase of. This magnitude quality of glass as well as price we’ve tested the Leopold sx5 Santiam HD spotter for the past six months. And it’s extremely high quality piece of glass. That completes at the top-level it’s a relatively compact unit at fifteen point seven inches for the angled version. It does come in a straight version which is sixteen point four inches. Both units are sixty-eight point seven ounces. This is about four two quarter pounds. And definitely added weight but. It saves you time and effort of getting closer to judge the animal it’s definitely worth. It thirty of glass low light performance. And overall image quality is. What really separates a quality spotter from. That isn’t worth its salt the Leopold Santiam sx5 HD delivers on. All aspects of quality in. This area the advanced HD lens system. And twilight max HD light management system delivers a crisp clear image.
And edge to edge clarity from first light. All the way to the end of the day the large focus ring in the center of the spotter is very responsive. And smooth for getting quick. And precise focus and the sunshade pulls out extremely far to help reduce glare on sunny days the rubberized armor coating on. This unit allows it to take a beating and still look like new. It does come with a soft cover as well which will keep your unit looking new for years the power of magnification on. Both the angled and straight versions are 27 on the low end. And 55 on the high end. This was the only place in the testing. That delivered any sort of negative feedback middle of the day spotting is usually always affected by heat waves at the very bottom end of the range heat waves were still a problem. We were unable to be productive on these days a 20 power bottomed in might get. Us into usable territory having used. This product extensively over the last six months. And testing it in all sorts of can editions.
And only finding this. One area for improvement makes. This product extremely solid. And knowing that loophole does put the best. It has to offer as well as being backed by the best customer service. And warranty in the business makes. This a product that’s definitely worth owning if you’re looking to add a spotting scope to your arsenal you’ll definitely want to consider the Leopold sx5 Santiam HD it’s a great value at under $2000. And will definitely be a product. That will help you to become a. More successful hunter.

Yeah they’re crispy here. And did a little video on the vortex Viper HD see here the 15 to 45 by 65 spotting scope. They do really like. It got a great deal on OpticsPlanet on. It — just some coupons stuff. They had I found it’s a really good success with getting stuff from them. Ipaid just an on sale price for us so anyway so pretty cool scope like. Some things I don’t like. This here it’s a I think it’s the last year’s model. This is a fast zoom on. And then to fine-tune. This additional zoom on. It here there’s lots of videos on the vortex Viper spotting scopes out their great coatings. Everything I really like. It I’ve got some other videos. Iwill post I’ll probably put a link in just up here on the top of the video lots of other reviews out there so. Idon’t go into a lot of detail but. This cover here I guess is the main thing. That I’m looking at. And see my other videos. When I’m actually using it’s got. Some great video footage of. That looking at elk. And deer and whatnot so. One of the things I wanted to mention here is. This got a good durable neoprene scope it’s got a cover it’s got cutouts it’s got. These attachment points here for the top. And for the bottom my only complaint.
Idon’t only wanted to a complaint film but. Idid want to identify. This a couple points here. Some good and bad of the cover itself. Imay be looking for another cover. Or vortex it as a heads up here on. One thing I do like is on. This front cover here. It is got this here. This slips on the end. And a really good durable thing easy to take off put back on it’s got a little ring here for you to be able to attach. Something to you don’t lose. It but on this cover. One things I do like about. This slips right over here pretty easily pretty durable then. You actually go to take. It usually off it actually takes off. That cover as well this comes off inside so in. Some ways it’s a good thing cuz. You don’t lose you take. It off in some ways every time. It back on you oh yeah. You could just slip. This cover over and just use.
This will just rattle around on the inside but. You take this off the problem. Ihave is that whole thing comes off just like on the front. This whole cover here comes out. And it’s I just get tired of taking the cover off there. And then having us flip. This thing on it’s not hard to slip on. And off but it’s its fairly easy to slip on. And off so it’s good it’s easy to get back on there really easily. You can see this here. One of the IRA leaf things. That pulls out those. All the way around here see it’s a little bit tricky with. That it’s its notched. It makes it really durable but that’s kind of that’s designed to give.
More eye relief there. When it’s on it’s a lot easier to twist. This thing up and down so that’s a good thing there. Irelief there bad thing is. This thing comes off so easily. And comes off in this comes off into cover. They designed this thing the stretch in. This thing is so tight. That like right there. It fits pretty good out of the camera view there but right there. It fits pretty good a little bit loose but it’s just too strong. Imean there’s even put the other there’s. Another clip right here. Even put it is very durable. Everything that’s good there but. It pulls I relief cover off every single time. Ido like and vortex. If you’re listening your watching you.
One thing if there’s a new cover. That you’d recommend. Anybody else has knows of a new cover. That would work better for this I’d like to hear about. Ido like everything about. It except for this you pull. This off again it pulls the eye relief cover right off. You got to dig it out to use. It back on and then you’re. All good so anybody got tips at theft that’s the only thing I don’t like about. This otherwise fantastic scope. And really durable of course they’ve got their lifetime warranty on these it’s called the VIP warranty. And so especially for the price. These are one for 600 bucks. Something like they retail normally regular price for more. That got a really good deal on. That so great products only thing I don’t like is. This cover right here so. You know any better covers in. That please post in the comments below. Many covers that you’ve had a better experience with. That the vortex cover. This cover does come in the package with.
This so you’re not buying an extra cover. Ireally like their scopes. And their binoculars. And stuff so anybody has. Any recommendations for. That would be cool. Anything that might work better. This so appreciate your time appreciate your watching the video here. And give me a like. You liked it open to your feedback on the videos here.

Alright guys we’re heading up too today to just got our optics look for some elk. And Dylan I were gonna take. Some pictures and just hang out test out a new spotting scope set up we’ll do a quick review of. And it’s a beautiful day it’s cold. Ithink with the windchill it’s below zero up here right. Now yeah anyway anything else. All right we’ll check in hey guys. Ithought I’d take a minute. And do a video of a new spotting scope setup. And I’ll start by saying. Anything but an expert on spotting scopes I’ve dabbled with him over the years but honestly. They don’t really fit my hunting style so. Idecided though to pick. More for off season yeah I’ll use. It for some hunting, but we’re up here today in January just kind of looking for some elk herds. We actually found they were. They left this area we’re gonna try to track him down but. Iwanted to talk about. This high-value spotting scope setup. We got again where I’m not really a big time spotting scope user. Ididn’t want to drop a thousand bucks. Whatever so what we ended up with. We went down and tried out a ton of different scopes. We tried vortex loop hold. What else Swarovski. We did trace for us. All different price ranges. What I landed on was. This red field revenge guys just wanted to insert a quick video up close here so. You can kind of see the detail on. This red field and actually it’s a rampage my son corrected.
That the revenge is. One of their scopes rifle scopes. They call this a rampage so. It gives you an idea kind of what this thing looks like a little bit. This is a 20 to 60 by 60 holy cow for me for what I’m gonna do. This is a really high value option it’s got. All the things I like it’s got a twist up iCup it’s got. This feature where the Sun Shade is built in. It just goes in it comes with a soft case the focus knob is just the right amount of tension. And sensitivity the zoom up here is real firm. It came with a carrying bag shoulder straps. All those different things. Iwant to say what we gave $199 for it I’m pretty sure. It was on sale for $199 yeah. And it’s got the loop hold. You know red field is owned by loophole so it’s got the guarantee of loophole behind. And we’ve been up here for a.
Imean it’s just clear it’s bright again enough for me I’m not gonna spend hours. And hours and hours behind. What I knew is that as important as. This is the tripod I ended up going with a vanguard. And I’ll just read off the model it’s the Alta 264 AO same. This cameras yeah my son’s filming this. And he’s got the same. One so the reason there’s a couple reasons. Iwent with we looked at a vortex there were. Several nice tripods so there’s two main reasons. Ireally like this Alta from Vanguard it’s heavier duty. These are hip thicker legs just a little bit heavier duty but. It didn’t weigh a lot. That it’s got the quick release. Idon’t like the ones. You got to screw them. They come out and then. You have to tighten them. You just pull the you know it’s just.
This flip deal the other thing is I’m six foot four. This was the only tripod actually. This was the only tripod. They had that would go high enough to. Iwouldn’t have to hunker down to look through here. You can see like right. Now it’s set up just right for me to be comfortable. And relaxed and look through. And I’m on a little bit of a side hill here so anyway out the door tripod spotting scope out the door with tax was three hundred. And sixty bucks I think it’s high value. If there’re guys that spend hour after hour behind. These things they’re gonna want a different quality of glass a higher end. That but I’m just saying for the average guy who’s gonna be using this a week. Or two out of the year. This might be the way to go guys. Iappreciate it takes care you.

Aspotting scope is the essential part of your arsenal especially. If you’re a trophy hunter. And definitely if you’re a sheep hunter. It allows you to judge your quarry from miles away as well as plan your stock. Some things you need to take into consideration before making a purchase of. This magnitude quality of glass as well as price we’ve tested the Leopold sx5 Santiam HD spotter for the past six months. And it’s extremely high quality piece of glass. That completes at the top-level it’s a relatively compact unit at fifteen point seven inches for the angled version. It does come in a straight version which is sixteen point four inches. Both units are sixty-eight point seven ounces. This is about four two quarter pounds. And definitely added weight but. It saves you time and effort of getting closer to judge the animal it’s definitely worth. It thirty of glass low light performance. And overall image quality is. What really separates a quality spotter from. That isn’t worth its salt the Leopold Santiam sx5 HD delivers on. All aspects of quality in. This area the advanced HD lens system. And twilight max HD light management system delivers a crisp clear image.
And edge to edge clarity from first light. All the way to the end of the day the large focus ring in the center of the spotter is very responsive. And smooth for getting quick. And precise focus and the sunshade pulls out extremely far to help reduce glare on sunny days the rubberized armor coating on. This unit allows it to take a beating and still look like new. It does come with a soft cover as well which will keep your unit looking new for years the power of magnification on. Both the angled and straight versions are 27 on the low end. And 55 on the high end. This was the only place in the testing. That delivered any sort of negative feedback middle of the day spotting is usually always affected by heat waves at the very bottom end of the range heat waves were still a problem. We were unable to be productive on these days a 20 power bottomed in might get. Us into usable territory having used. This product extensively over the last six months. And testing it in all sorts of can editions.
And only finding this. One area for improvement makes. This product extremely solid. And knowing that loophole does put the best. It has to offer as well as being backed by the best customer service. And warranty in the business makes. This a product that’s definitely worth owning if you’re looking to add a spotting scope to your arsenal you’ll definitely want to consider the Leopold sx5 Santiam HD it’s a great value at under $2000. And will definitely be a product. That will help you to become a. More successful hunter.

And the conquest Gavi 85 is no exception the HD lens design provides an extremely high-quality image with great edge to edge clarity. And the 85 millimeter objective allows maximum amount of light transmission to get the.
Most out of that high-quality glass at the. Most important times of the day. All the external lenses are protected with lo2 tech which allows the water. And moisture to beat up. And run off the lenses. This process also helps protect against scratches from foreign objects like dirt. If birding or wildlife photography is your passion you’ll be happy to know.

Take glassing to a higher level with the signature HD spotting scope from Burris save time. And boot leather by finding and evaluating trophy animals from a mountain away the twenty to sixty times magnification 85 millimeter objective. And HD lenses deliver the clearest picture at. Any distance integrated mounts provide fast. And easy target acquisition with the fast fire red dot sight Burris find what matters.
Hey today I’m gonna do a quick review on. Some good spotting scopes the reason why I want to do. This is pretty much nowadays I’ve been using spotting scopes quite a bit. And there are some glass out there. You don’t have to spend $3000 on. You still get some high quality glass I’m gonna do a quick comparison. If these two spying scopes. That are about around the same price range $1569. We have the vortex razor generation 2 which is the 27 by 60 with a belt. And then we have the Burris their signature HD spying scope. It is a 20 by 60 also with the HD Belle. Ijust want to go real quick the things. Both have that are great okay can get an idea. What they may like for me the things. That stand out to me is going to be the glass. How good and the warranty. And the functionality of. It so just run out the gun. These are both great spotting scopes. Both come with a neoprene case they’re.
Both relatively about the same size same weight. Both have a really excellent eyepiece adjustment here. Both have any logistical slide for the shade. And pretty much the basic functions of. It the other thing both do well is they’re the lifetime warranty VIP warranty. You know some kind of thing no question asked. And that’s that’s such a huge thing when you’re. You know I use mine for hunting and. Ijust get worried about scratching it. Or dropping it and so forth. Both have a really good warranty with. You know vortex obviously has been has a great name Burris also as well so. You still have backed up by. Both good companies so real quick.
Some things I dislike about. One is the other you know the vortex the thing I like about. It over the Burris is. It is pretty slick it doesn’t have the adjustable knob. You have that adjustable knob it’s which is right here. You lose the fine tune which I’ve noticed. Iactually like more but. It is a little bit sleek on. That side I like the color it’s a pretty. You know dark green kind of earthy tone. And it’s you know it’s a little bit lighter. Ithink it’s like it shaves off like 2 ounces so. This is 65 ounces this is 67 ounces. It comes to the purse the things. Ilike a lot about the Burris is. You know it’s also rugged as well but. Icompared the glass. And compared it to low light conditions.
Idid on day conditions kind of. That falls into sea. You know if there’s. Any distortion both doing really well but the low-light is. Where you’ll find the. Most changes and there wasn’t a lot on. Some areas but as far as clarity from edge to edge. Ithought the Burris did a better job. And is just a little bit sharper at low light. And the colors were just a little bit. More vibrant, and so I’d give the edge on the glass versa. Iwas actually really surprised. You know by shocked on how sharp. That was the both are great. One of the functions. Iwant to point out here. That Burris has is this fast fire red dot. And the reason why I like. When I’m looking through my binoculars. Or I’m looking at a canyon. And I’m looking I want to look at like a goalie.
Something of an animal moving its kind of hard to find it on the spotting scope quickly. And so with this red dot. Ipretty much put the red dot on the animal. You know whatever you know want to put on. It is exactly you know. Where my spotter is. That is a huge advantage. It comes especially to hunting when bottom line. Both great spine scopes. Ido have to say give the edge on the birth. Ithink the best thing for you to do is. You go to a sporting goods stores. That sells you know spine scopes. These are high-end spine scopes so like. Isaid find one you can test in your budget but to try them out. That low conditions. And you’ll find one. That fits you best it’s. You like and hopefully you’ll see. Something good and it’s a great investment.
First to solve the biggest problem in spotting scopes finding your target it’s always a pain in the butt. When you’re at high magnification. And you see something downrange but. You can’t find it you go searching around where’d. It go you go-slow magnification okay found. It now back to high magnification. All that’s a big waste of time with a fast fire site right on the side of our spotting scope in an easy low profile design. Now I can put the red dot in the fast fire with no magnification right on my target downrange. And when I look through the eyepiece it’s right there right in the middle. Idon’t have to play hide-and-go-seek. Or anything wherever. That red dot is that’s the middle of my field of view super easy. Ican transition from. One target to another it’s right in the eyepiece the fast fire red dot sight is by far. One of most popular sights. That vs ever made it’s used on AR rifles shotguns pistols. Even long-range precision rifles. And now it finds a perfect home on our spotting scope.
I’m richer man this is empty cases sixty seconds. You know I just returned from a big-game hunt. Where my god did not have a spotting scope. One instance this cost. Us three miles of walking in three hours out of her hunt. Ishould have made sure upfront. He had a spotting scope. He didn’t I should have taken. One like this new Oscar 7 from Sig Sauer optic. This is a 20 to 60 power spotting scope. That has a lot of features. That you’ll appreciate on a hot. It has a Sun Shade up front. You can rotate the scope on the tripod. This is helpful for hunting because. You stand and look for hours through a spotting scope like. This you’re going to end up walking around with your head like. This rotation also works really well. When you’re shooting from the bench. This has a course focus function here. And a very fine focus function here allow. You to dial in on the target to get a perfectly crisp image. It also has a removable eyepiece check out the sig sauer oscar 7. And remember it’s all about the shot but to make a shot. You got to find something to shoot.
Everybody we’re here at NES GW. And I’m with Shane at Leopold. You sure I’m excellent. You do I’m doing a good better. Now tell us about this is our golden ring spotting scope it’s not brand-new so it’s not a sneak peek but it’s. Something I don’t think we’ve talked about in a little. This version right here is our 12 to 20 I’m sorry 12 to 40 by 60 spotting scope so that’s 12 power up to 40 power magnification by 60 millimeters on the objective size. It has a folded light path so. You can see it’s really compact so. You get the same type of magnification. And image quality out of a long spotter but the size. You can pack with if you’re gonna walk in somewhere. You want to carry it’s really lightweight its phenomenal product HD glass so. You get crisp read low resolution. And no distortion around the edges it’s got focus got power adjustment. And it’s in our new. What we’re calling shadow gray color. This is truly a tool. That should be in everyone’s hunting bag to help them identify games see. They want to go it’s a phenomenal product so it’s not a sneak peek but it’s a must-have it’s its not a sneak peek but. It is a must-have well thank. You so much for joining us. This year Shane thank. You very much appreciate. All right guys you heard. It here first you have to do is get a gallery of guns calms. Or see your Davidsons dealer.
Everybody Jason ballast without — a product to be calm. Iwant to welcome you guys back to. Another review today. What we’re gonna be covering I got a spotting scope from Leopold. And I’ve actually utilized. All throughout elk and antelope season. This year something. That was just really cool. Iwanted you guys to go over. Me first of it arrived. Iwas pretty shocked. It comes in like its own little briefcase it’s really nice. You know especially for traveling with optics. Because it’s important. You take care of your optics just like you’re gonna take care of a rifle scope. Whatever the case but. You know this is just a handy little briefcase. You will and let’s open. It up it’s got a nice Leopold logo on there so that’s. That steel look finish on there but let. Something I thought was just really cool. All right you opened. It up it’s got a nice rubber grip here for holding it so. You don’t drop you open up the case. It comes with its own tripod. All right you just sort of set. That up like normal tripod. You could set that up on the hood of your car.
Whatever you want to set. It up on a rock but anyway it’s an adjustable tripod. It goes out just like a camera. One would or just like. Even the one we’re using with our camera today right here’s we’re filming alright comes with. That a detachable little adapter for the spotting scope itself but then. You slide it into the let. You here just like a regular camera. You just slide it in there with the scope on. You can leave this attached. You want and move this out of the way. All right has this little bit little plastic thing was actually in the in a spotting scope itself. And it’s this not on. This adapter threads to but let. Me pull out the spotting scope. They have little keys here. You can lock the case. You need to the carrying strap see. How the carrying straps is léopold on.
This nice cushion case I’ll show. You on the inside everything’s pre fit. And cut so then it sits in their just perfect on scope here. You have your information on. It with the registration. All the good stuff you need okay so let. Me just show you here I’m going to set. This case to the side we’ll go over the spot. And scope itself just locks easy set. That over to the side alright spotted scope comes with its own little case like. Isaid before the cool things is. This pod scope here it’s a 15 by 30 by 30 millimeter. One comes in a brown sort of dark brown color. One of the cool things. Iwant to cover though is. It has an end cap on. It so you’re covering your rear eyepiece which is very important. You have to do is flop. That portion out right there for sort of sudden guard. You can put your forehead against there. And block out all the light in the back. You can’t adapt cameras to. These as well it tells. You the zoom I zoom in on an animal. Ialways started at 15.
This elk season during archery. Iwas watching a bull with a bunch of cows. They were moving through the Aspen’s probably about five miles away. And I’d look for him. And look for him and put on 15. And then zoom in on him. It was a nice big 7 by 7 bull. Ialmost got him didn’t happen but. You know that’s why they call a hunt. And not just killing so uh anyway so. You know you zoom in 15 by 30 power that’s pretty powerful then the end cap has a screw end cap here which. Ireally like you know we’re really rugged on our optics out there. When we’re hiking around. You have to do is you unscrew. And there you have the end of the in the spotting scope right there. Now to attach this little rubber piece. Or plastic little screw was actually in here there’s a separate attach here. You have to take off there’s a little screw here.
That on the spotting scope itself. And then this portion attaches to. This right here so you just put. This one will do it I’ll show. You guys just so you can sort of see. What it looks like it’s very simple like camera tight. And a good thing is too is you’re up there hunting elk. Whatever you’re hunting let’s say. You actually get a trophy. Something you want to take a picture well. You could just use this little tripod. That comes with it with your camera. And take a picture of yourself. You don’t have to worry about setting your camera on a rock. One of those little wraparound tripod things. That doesn’t really stay on the tree. That well so you just tighten. This on like we said open your tripod up slides right in to the groove.
And there you’re ready to you’re ready to spot do. Whatever you got to up on the mountain. That way it’s hands-free there’s no shaking you can look at the animals from a good distance away. You know you shouldn’t have. Any issues now the picture is crystal clear in. We were at a little hunting this year. We were watching antelope over three miles away. It was really nice midday a lot of light. You could see things perfectly. We did have a little bit of the Mirage coming off the ground just. Because the heat transfers but that’s normal with. Any optics the one thing I must say is. Iwas watching elk this year like. It was getting close to dark.
When the light really started going down. Igot to you know it was really sort of hard to see. You had a full magnification at 30 at a. You know 2 miles they could be. You know closer you probably see them better. However low-light it’s 50 millimeters which is pretty good. You know but the low-light. It get tough to see. Now I’m not talking low light like it’s almost dark it’s about. This is about a half an hour before dark. When the animals were moving but. Idid see you know crystal clear. And in the full sunshine. If you’re spotted and say you’re milled you’re hiding up on the mountain. You want to watch where they’re going up to bed so.
You can make a stock on them great little product its real light easily pack able. You know it’s got a little loop here. You can put it on your pack on the outside of your pack out the puts a spotting scope inside the pack here. And then just stick the tripod in there. And you’re good to go as well. You guys saw that review on. That steady stalk you could use. This with the steady stockist has the same attachments so that’s. Something that’s really good too. You hunt out west you need to have a spotting scope especially. If you’re scouting like way up there in the high country you’re gonna be looking for or five miles away in an animal. And then try to plant a stock on them possibly, so I’ll tell. What Leopold it is the 15 by 30 by 50 millimeter gold ring series. And definitely a great product I’m just happy to have. And be using it quite a bit here in the near future we’re already getting ready for the ETA show into here in two weeks, so we’ll be going to the ATA show.
And a shot show and I’ll be talking to the folks Ill ya Poland. Iwant to get maybe a little bit bigger objective. One just to sort of see the difference between the light. And we’ll show you guys. One as well but you guys don’t have a spotting scope. Irecommend you go out. And check out Leopold’s line. They definitely have. Some great spotting scopes so for outdoor product reviewI’m jason ballast we’re gonna see. You guys on our next review.
Aspotting scope is the essential part of your arsenal especially. If you’re a trophy hunter. And definitely if you’re a sheep hunter. It allows you to judge your quarry from miles away as well as plan your stock. Some things you need to take into consideration before making a purchase of. This magnitude quality of glass as well as price we’ve tested the Leopold sx5 Santiam HD spotter for the past six months. And it’s extremely high quality piece of glass. That completes at the top-level it’s a relatively compact unit at fifteen point seven inches for the angled version. It does come in a straight version which is sixteen point four inches. Both units are sixty-eight point seven ounces. This is about four two quarter pounds. And definitely added weight but. It saves you time and effort of getting closer to judge the animal it’s definitely worth. It thirty of glass low light performance. And overall image quality is. What really separates a quality spotter from. That isn’t worth its salt the Leopold Santiam sx5 HD delivers on. All aspects of quality in. This area the advanced HD lens system. And twilight max HD light management system delivers a crisp clear image.
And edge to edge clarity from first light. All the way to the end of the day the large focus ring in the center of the spotter is very responsive. And smooth for getting quick. And precise focus and the sunshade pulls out extremely far to help reduce glare on sunny days the rubberized armor coating on. This unit allows it to take a beating and still look like new. It does come with a soft cover as well which will keep your unit looking new for years the power of magnification on. Both the angled and straight versions are 27 on the low end. And 55 on the high end. This was the only place in the testing. That delivered any sort of negative feedback middle of the day spotting is usually always affected by heat waves at the very bottom end of the range heat waves were still a problem. We were unable to be productive on these days a 20 power bottomed in might get. Us into usable territory having used. This product extensively over the last six months. And testing it in all sorts of can editions.
And only finding this. One area for improvement makes. This product extremely solid. And knowing that loophole does put the best. It has to offer as well as being backed by the best customer service. And warranty in the business makes. This a product that’s definitely worth owning if you’re looking to add a spotting scope to your arsenal you’ll definitely want to consider the Leopold sx5 Santiam HD it’s a great value at under $2000.

I’m Jay Wiggins from sport optics com. And we’re checking out the news for office the ATX. And STX spotting scopes. What I really wanted to show. You here is how compact. How versatile these things can be. This is a large binocular bag but in. It I’ve got the new 65 millimeter scope body. And the angled eyepiece. Now of course the glass is phenomenal as with. Any Swarovski optic we’ve got your telescoping eyepiece the body can swivel 360 degrees so. You can get behind it in a variety of positions you’ve got really smooth intuitive controls on. Both your focus and your magnification adjustment the 65 millimeter body goes from 25 to 50 the 85 millimeter goes from 25 to 60. And the 95 millimeter goes from 30 to 70 but the coolest thing about. These scopes is you don’t want to go with an angle. You want to go with a straight. You can seamlessly swap from. One to the other both the eyepiece. And the body are sealed so have no fear transporting them in two separate pieces like. Ijust added in you know but. This is what’s really neat. You can go from a 65. If you’re hiking in the mountains are on a sheep hunt to an 85. If you’re on a white-tailed deer. And also you can go from straight to angled seamlessly it’s really impressed with. This piece and really looking forward to spending a lot. More time behind these spotters.
Okay what’s a reflecting telescope. This is a reflecting telescope a reflector is always been usually always whiter. Then a refractor with the reflecting telescope as opposed to the light coming in here. And you’re looking at. It from the behind like. We did with the refractor the light comes in here. You can see is bounced off the mirror the primary mirror so. It comes in here is reflected that’s. It gets its name and comes out your eyepiece here. Now a reflecting telescope is really the preferred style of Telescope for astronomers. You can get more aperture in other words. You can have a wider opening here the wider. This open the wider the aperture. Or the larger the mirror. You see down in there the. More like gathering ability. That telescope has so it’s not about power as we’ve always said it’s about. How big is the aperture so the wider the aperture is on a reflecting telescope the. Lighter you go to gather. What makes these preferable is you’re dealing with a mirror. You grind a mirror for a reflecting telescope. You only have to polish. One surface with a refractor. You have to polish four surfaces which makes the telescope much.
More expensive so all reflect your telescope is going to offer. More like gathering ability for less money in other words you’re going to get. More bang for your buck with the reflector telescope. If your main interest is astronomical you.
Hey guys how’s it going welcome back well. Ido a video here of my Bush male four-and-a-half inch reflector telescope. Ipicked this thing up at Walmart for about 150 bucks it’s a really good telescope. And very happy with. Iam gonna be buying eventually. Some much better quality lenses. One of the things I’ve been finding out through. Some research is even a scope in. These class can be a hundred times better. What it comes without of the box. Or with the box because the eyepieces are not high amped so. You want a much cleaner crisper picture. You need to buy much better quality lenses. One comes with a 30 millimeter lens formula meter lens. And the two times Barlow extension lens for how to make application it’s a 114 millimeter by 900 millimeters — so it’s fairer sized telescope for a good beginner scope. It has an aqua toriel mount on. It which is quite nice so. You can do a lot of really cool viewing with. This thing and really get accurate on your lineups. You have the all the auto. You know it comes declaration. Whatever you call it anyways terminology. Idon’t quite understand. Yet but so right now I’ve been looking at things like the moon.
And the Jupiter I can get those easy. Ihaven’t done a lot of studying of the star chart thing, yet I’ve looked at other constellations. Ihave no idea what the hell. They are but they’re pretty cool. You can actually see stars. You normally can’t see with your eyes. You can suck them up into. This thing quite nicely. You know we get a lot of nice starry nights out here so. We don’t have hardly. Any light pollution whatsoever gets really nice and dark out here, so we’re kind of like in the country but in the city at the same time. And but for setting this thing up to view step 1 take off the front lens cover large disk. You can just pop at the center. And view through it to a degree. Imean the lighter. You can allow more you’re gonna see.
And the better but you can use just small. You got to find out what’s there. Ibelieve it’s the latitude of the longitude but. One of them anyways it’ll be the smaller number in our case. Ilive in North Bay. And our cars is at 46 degrees so that’s. This bottom part here with. This knob okay. You adjust it to 46 degrees. Or as close as you can get. You don’t have to be dead nuts on. Because you’re only gonna get. It so closes anyhow then. You thought these other two for your other adjustments there. They got a number their number. You know from one two zero two twenty-three top. And bottom I guess I’m not sure. Idon’t understand this stuff. It was too like a newbie to. And then you’ve got. These others up here. That too anyway some basic idea I’ve got a tower out here so for setting this thing up to view.
What I do you need a solid target. That is non movable in my case is. This tower up here with the flashing red lights on. Igo to the very top light out. That in my view of my eyepiece first so. You got to screw around with a lot get the target set up okay. You want to get that target set up is dead in the center of your eyepiece as possible. When you’re looking through. That up first and make sure. Everything is locked down. That set then go and turn on your finder okay which is the red dot in. This case this is a reflector not a refractor okay. Now the difference is a reflector. Everything you view is upside-down but at night. It seems a little right-side up kind of funky so. You use a red dot now on a refractor telescope waits for day. Or night so you look through. Everything is right side up but.
You look through the finder. Everything is upside down but I’ve seen refractor. Now with the red dots on them. Idon’t think that really makes too much of a difference. Because you’re still going to set up your target no matter which way. Iset my target up first by view through here getting my nice clean texture. Iwant then I set up the finder set. That my in this case my red dot in the middle of the dead of the middle of the target. That I’ve been going after. And then that set then. You can go to say the moon. And say set your finder up to the moon boom put. It in the middle of the moon right. Or a spot on the moon. And in theory okay that red dot winds up is. What you should be seen in here focusing is a whole other story The Closer. Something is to you the further down. This is going to be the further away. Something is the higher up that’s going to end up being to see beyond.
Something closer like I’ve tried. This with the trees for instance. Some trees that are really close to the house. Igot them focused in an absolutely perfect here but then. Inoticed some blurriness in the background, so I’m like okay that’s kind of stupid so but. Ibring the focusing up. Now I’ve seen stuff away in the distance. And it’s being brought up. And the stuff that was up front is. Now being actually sucked in behind. Me type of thing so. Ican see more back its kind of weird. How telescopes work but. This controller up first to get your your latitude. Or your longitude whatever. It was can’t remember off top of my head then. You get to play with the rest of. You have to balance out the tube in the mount as good as. You can for weight just distribution you’ve also got. This counterbalance weight as well so. This is basically all gonna straight up. And down is we’re gonna get. This right now so loosen off the top skirt first.
And then we’ll check okay that’s that’s fine so it’s not falling that’s okay, so we’ll check our counterbalance weight. What we’re looking for the track that’s pretty well-balanced. You know you can bring the weight up bring it up the shot then again it’s going to change. When you’re setting up viewing for say. You want to something that’s pretty well vertical. Ijust have to swing it to the right spot in between the tripod legs. Ican get stuff that’s pretty much dead perfect 90 degrees okay. This was so it allows. You to different spots get. Something on now we’re always moving around space as. You know you get the moon in to view perfect. You walk wait for a minute. And come back the moon is shifted so. What you can do is you play with. These fine-tuning adjustments to bring things back on target then. You can do your viewing smaller. You can use these to also scroll around your area cuz.
Iuse the two together. And I’ll scroll around different parts of the Moon. Iwant to look at or just off the side of the moon maybe. Idon’t want the whole moon in their then. Ican just fine tune in to fine tune out. What I don’t want but that’s basics on how. This thing works and like. They always tell you to start. It with your biggest ones first in. This case it’s the 20 millimeter get your item set up then start magnifying from their use your Barlow lens which. You know gives you in my case. One came with a 2 x. You know may have a 3 x. They have a 4 x there’s a lot of different ones out there. You can purchase you know aftermarket. And like I said the better the quality of the eyepiece the better the. This scope is going to be. Ithink I’ve already said. This but if not I’ll say. It again the scope itself a $150 scope awesome scope. What I’ve been reading about. And watching videos on is. Even a 150 dollar scope can view pictures the same as a $2000 scope you’ve just got to have a good quality eyepiece that’s key in.
Any scope and Department star scopes like. These Bushnells few others. That are out there some of the low end Meade telescopes cuz I’ve had a meet telescope before. They don’t come with the high-end eyepieces. They cost money so you know for the type of eyepiece I’m after I’m gonna go inch. And a quarter I’m gonna be looking at probably about $100 a piece for them. You know you get a variety of sizes. You know 20 ml of beer millimeter for millimeter. You know whatever the lowest is. If they carry there’re adapters. You can actually get into larger diameter eyepieces. You wanted to and there’re adapters plus the camera adapter. Iwant to get the camera adapter kit. And put a an actual telescope camera on. This thing so I can do.
Some really cool videos with. That cuz right now I’m using the camera. Iactually operate over top of the lens. It can be a real pain in the neck so. Iwant to get a better quality camera but for. Ineed the mounting system to for the telescope. And then I got a lot of fun with. That better use that the summer. Though it’s awful cold oh here. That stuff so anyway. This helps anybody who’s just as new as. Or newer and you’re having trouble seeing stuff through your telescope that’s the basic way on how to set. This thing up it works just fine so. You have any other questions. Or comments whatever you’ve got. One of these things to. You know hey leave your. You know opinions on what you found with. This telescope you like. And anyways thanks for watching and.
Here is our magnificent reflector telescope finished in black. Or white the incredible 175 times magnification we’ll see. You well on your way into the fascinating world of astronomy setup on the free full-length adjustable steel tripod the telescope remains absolutely still. And balanced use the angle adjustment lever to pan up. And right even through 360 degrees with ease. Now to the telescope use the Handy finder scope on the top of the telescope to locate individual stars. And planets use the focusing dial to bring everything in the crisp sharp detail there are three eyepieces offering 35 x 56 x. Or 175 times zoom on offer at a remarkable price so get up close to the moon the stars. And the planets with. This fantastic reflector telescope.
