Barska Gladiator 25-75x100 Waterproof Straight Spotting Scope w/Tripod

NOT a field scope, more a living room scope, but excellent for that purpose. Focus and zoom controls are easy, precise and smooth. Optical performance: clear, sharp and bright at all magnifications, and with much less loss of sharpness and light...
