The eye relief is too short, but my main complaint was that the focus is not maintained when changing the magnification setting. That is, when observing an object after properly focusing the scope, re-focusing is always required when the magnification is changed. The more the change, the more correction is needed. This is something that should not be necessary in a good spotting scope. Rating - Useable, not great The Alpen 15-45 x 60 spotting scope was purchased to sit on a tripod in our lakeside family room so that we could look at birds, boats on the lake, etc. The 45 deg eyepiece is useful in this setting. At 15x the spotting scope is OK, but as you increase the power the image becomes darker and harder to use. We'll probably never use the zoom feature because of this, and just treat it as a fixed 15x optic. Knowing this now, I would have purchased some other product with an angled eyepiece, even if it was more expensive. Rating - excellent value First, don't be fooled by the product image now offered by Amazon; this is indeed the model 728 with 45-degree eyepiece; Amazon pictures the similar model 725 with straight-through viewing. I use a spotting scope for birding, and I've been quite content with my trusty Bushnell Spacemaster (vintage 1992). But in preparation for a vacation that involves international airline flight I wanted a lightweight alternative. If I had unlimited financial resources I might have considered a few of the big-ticket products with impressive ... Read More Rating - great product I purchased this spotting scope for my son to use for target shooting in 4H. We havn't had the opertunity to use it for that but we have been using it for watching Deer and other wildlife. It is working great, it may not gather as much light and be as bright as some much more expensive scopes but it is well worth the price paid and should work great for target shooting. Rating - Excellent value I purchased this for fita archery too, but also use it for stargazing. The image gets a little dark past 30x and color isn't as great, but at 15x on a bright sunny day the image can be too bright. I can see through it clearly with sunglasses on, so you don't have to stick your eye right on the eyepiece, this may be why I think that it starts to get dark past 30x, probably still bright without sunglasses on past 30x. Can focus to as close as twenty feet. Great scope for the money. see more reviews See More Alpen Outdoor Corp. products
