Good Points: Comes in a nice hard case.
Bad Points: Excessive glare, hard to focus, almost no practical eye relief. The included mini tripod is a joke, not steady enough to be practical.
General comments: I was looking for a spotting scope that will read .17 cal hole at 100yds.. The Bushnell 2-60X65 Trophy is not it. It looked good coming out of the box. That's where it stopped, first thing was the glare. 10:00 AM looking east even with the lens shade fully extended. Looking through the objective lens there are all kinds of shine around the elements. To me it looked like it came from the glue that's used to hold the elements to the tube. At 20X it's not a bad picture, the closer you get to 60X the worse it gets. The eye relief gets to the point my eye brow would touch the eye piece. I never was able to see anything in focus above 45-50X. I even tried two other tripods and I just could not see clearly with the scope moving around from my eye touching/moving it even a little. For me it was not a practical investment and I returned it for exchange. If I don't get the replacement soon next I'll rate the supplier.
Overall impression is that this is a cheaply made instrument that's being sold by brand name alone. I can not recommend it to anyone at any price!
