Yukon 6-100x100 Spotting Scope Kit

i have been all over hunting scouting and taking pictures with several different scopes over the past twenty years, i am dissapointed with its overall dimentions, its just too big and its not waterproof whatsoever, the suplied tripod is junk but that's no biggy, as far as the performace i am pleased, took it out day one to play with it sitting on top of a ridge line looking out to other ridges, can see very clearly for miles, i am happy. i watched an active logging unit out at about the 3 mile range and could read almost all the lettering and numbering on all of the equipment with ease. i have also done some star gazing just to further test it out and for that it is fair. now even though i am very dissapointed with the fact that it is not waterproof and am not happy with its large dimintions, i am happy enough with its performance and light weight that i will be packing this scope with me for many excursions to come, is it the best out there, no it is not, is it the best that you can get for what you are paying, that is possible, it is the best that i have found for the price, well worth it. cons- way too big, and not water proof, garbage tripod pros- very clear, very clear, light weight despites its huge size, very easy to use.
