AD11182
125X Magnification
This Benchmark spotting scope features an unprecedented 125x magnification allowing you to zoom in on target miles away. While the included tripod is adequate for low to mid magnifications, we highly recommend using a heavy-duty and rock-solid tripod to take advantage of its 125x high magnification. It will be extremely difficult to stay focused without a sturdy tripod at magnifications above 60x.

DYNAMIC OBJECTIVE FOCUSING SPOTTING SCOPE
Dynamic Objective Focusing
The Dynamic Objective Focusing system (DFS) allows users to focus on the target by turning the objective lens. Most spotting scopes will have a focusing wheel on the right making it difficult for users to stay on focus when changing the magnifications. Our unique DFS focusing features allows you to adjust the focus while increasing its magnifications simultaneously. Simply turn the front part of the spotting scope (black area near the objective lens) to adjust the focus. Remember to adjust the focus when the target and/or magnification is changed.
Features that Enhance Functionality
WIDE MAGNIFICATION RANGE
- Well-suited for a wide range of viewing scenarios.
- At 25x, the spotter can be used for general observation.
- Easily zoom up to 125x magnification to get a more detailed look.
PRECISION FOCUS
- The adjustable objective lens allows the user to make fine adjustments to the spotters focus setting while maintaining a visual on the target object.
TRIPOD VIEWING

Can see moss from 2 miles away. Was looking at a creek where the moss came to a corner and was eroding down into the creek. Could see the space under the moss at the corner where dirt was missing under it. From about 2 miles maybe a little more maybe a little less. Tell my I can see humans and bears from 2 miles away. Maybe even a little further.When the fog came out while I was looking (fog was near the creek 2 miles away) it cut back on color. Made it so I could not see the color of plants as good.The hard case is cool but not needed. I feel the could have soled me the scope for 80$ if they dint include the lockable hard case. With a lock that can opened by a paper clip. Was a good case to ship it in though so I guess it made sure the thing got here alright. I think most people would be happy with the case though. Good for transportation like in a boat. Can be bounced around a little keeping the scope inside safe and sound.Awesome spotting. First one for me. I just bought 10x42 binoculars and thought it would be cool if a had a spotting scope to see even further. Found one here with 125 times on max zoom for under $150. Normally I think this far of range would be up closer to $400-$1000.. So good buy over all. Good product..One more thing. The tripod for it. Need an extra 2-3 inches and it would be a perfect small tripod for me. I can lay down in front of it and look straight ahead. I have to lay down at a 90 degree angle from the scope laying on one arm to lift my body some so I can see through it comfortably.

I bought this scope for spotting hits on target at 50, 100, and 200 yards. EXCELLENT for my purposes. Have actually shot and spotted with the scope out to 285 yards - crystal clear view of my hits. (Would have gone further, but ran out of land!) True, it's necessary to exercise some care positioning the scope using the included tripod, as the scope is heavy. But all in all, for the money, I couldn't ask for more: hard case, soft case, pistol grip, tripod, and most importantly, a great spotting scope for 5.56 rounds out to 285 yards - for less than $500?? This scope's an excellent value!

I bought this spotting scope to take hunting because it has good specs (objective lens diameter and magnification) at a very good price. I had read the other reviews and was willing to accept the reduced clarity at highest magnifications since they won't be used in hunting anyway.The screw-on pistol grip is an excellent accessory, especially since it's a straight-through scope. The grip even has a mount on the bottom so that you can attach it to a tripod and get a little more height. Although the pictures don't show it, the scope has an objective lens cover that is attached to the bottom of the unit, which I found very convenient. The scope feels solid and fairly durable although I don't want to test exactly how durable. The included hard and soft carry cases provide adequate protection and are quite handy for transportation.I took the scope to a local park for testing, and while it's true that clarity, brightness and stability are issues at higher magnifications, I am convinced that it is perfectly adequate for my needs. I was still able to count birds on the grass at over a kilometer away at 125x, and at 25x I could easily pick out objects in the trees that I couldn't see with the naked eye even when I knew where they were.I haven't tested the scope in wet or cold weather or in low-light conditions yet, so I can't comment on that. The only disappointment I've experienced so far is discovering a light speckling of dust on the inside of the objective lens. This could only be seen when looking at it from the side when it's under direct sunlight, or by looking through the scope at a white wall that is out of focus.Considering the price, I think this was a good purchase and would recommend it for anything that doesn't rely on top clarity out to 125x.

I bought this scope last week, knowing that my cheap binoculars wouldn't help me sight in my rifle at 50 yards. I was a little skeptical given some of the negative reviews, but when I got to the range I was very impressed.The doodads, as I think another mentioned, are not custom, but still nice. The tripod is pretty cheap, but it works well enough if you don't have the $$ to buy a better replacement.Others have written about how the quality of the image is poor at higher magnifications, but I did not find that to be the case. Although the image does darken considerably after ~75x, it was no problem at all in daylight.In terms of what I could see, I was not disappointed. I could see .22 holes in paper at 100 yards, although at that zoom the field of view is quite small. At 50 yards I could see an area about 2' x 2' and still see the .22 holes in paper. This was while wearing glasses - If I didn't have eye protection on I'm sure it would have been even better.That being said, I wouldn't expect to be able to use this past 100 yards if I was looking for holes on paper.If you are trying to check the grouping at 300 yards on your $2/rd match ammo that you shot looking through your $500 Leupold scope, then yeah, buy a better scope. Otherwise I would say this scope is a great value and I would buy it again.

Para referencia de los compradores, De noche un pequeño arbol de Navidad iluminado, con altura de 1.5 mts. y a una distancia de 560 metros se ve suficientemente claro y definido ocupando el 75% de altura del campo de visión, fue necesario ponerlo sobre su tripie para mantenerlo estable. Estuches y accesorios son un extra de buena calidad y que vienen bien.

Simple, sturdy and good accessories. Needs a solid full-size tripod or monopod for high magnification viewing while standing. Some chromatic aberration so not great for photography. I paid $179 CDN. It's a great value at that price. Pistol grip handle is useful. The included small metal tripod is useful on a bench or table. Soft carry bag fits scope and included tripod well. High mag focus is excellent but this is NOT a $3000 scope so temper expectations.

How do I put this?The Barska 'Benchmark' so-called 25-125× spotting scope is (to put it mildly) crap.Yes, it magnifies stuff, and at lower levels the picture isn't bad.But the scope mount is so far back on the body (well behind the centre of gravity) that it's uncomfortable and awkward leaning in to look through the eyepiece.Second, the field of view never changes. Low magnification is significantly smaller than high. Not a great thing when you're trying to dial back the magnification to find an objectThird, IT IS NOT 25-125 MAGNIFICATION!I already own a 20-60× Bushnell scope, and just comparing photos taken through each one, the Barska is (if anything) LOWER magnification than the Bushnell. They look about even on the top end (where the Barska should be TWICE AS GOOD) but the image through the Barska is noticeably smaller at (supposedly) 25× than the Bushnell at 20×.Never buying Barska again.

Item was not fit for the purpose, any magnification over 40x reduced the view through the scope to a pinhole, unable to use at the range. Very disappointed. Item was returned and have received no further communication from seller.
