The Scout 30x50 is a very high-quality spotting scope. Encased in a rubber armored body, the new Scout offers the durability and optical excellence needed to last a lifetime. This Scout, with its 30x magnification has the power you need for viewing wildlife, traveling, hiking, or prolonged use in nature observation. It has a large diameter (50 mm) front lens, which produces excellent light gathering and transmission properties. Specially enhanced with multi-layered Magnesium Fluoride coatings, the Scout's all-glass optics provide a sharp and clear image even in low light conditions. The Scout is tripod mountable and can be purchased with our exclusive tripod/car window mount kit. Can you beat high 30x magnification, rock bottom priced, water resistant body, compact at only 9"/14" in length, very lightweight at only 16 oz., a rubber armored body, fully multicoated lenses and a corduroy carrying case? The Scout, Sibir T and Sibir TSH lines are the perfect spotting scopes for analysing the entry of a .223 cal at 100 meters. Your other spotting scopes can't do that!
