Spotting Scopes — Description

A spotting scope suits anyone who needs to make out fine detail at very long range — birdwatchers, hunters, spectators at sporting events or target shooting enthusiasts. Unlike binoculars, a spotting scope typically offers stronger magnification, which is why it's often paired with a tripod for a steady image. When choosing one, check the magnification range, objective lens diameter and how well the housing holds up to the weather.
