This was my first experience with amazon as far as purchasing online. I found it to be a very pleasent experience. From the time I placed my order which was an Alpen 788 spotting scope kit until it arrived was less than ten days and shipping was free. The spotting scope kit was as advertised. I will be able to evaluate it futher when I take it to the range and see how it performs in vewing .223 bullet holes at two hundred yards. So far I would recomend the product to a friend.

Alpen 20-60x80 w/45 degree EP, waterproof Spotting Scope
As a very keen shooter with a number of top quality scoped rifles, I was in need of a good spotting scope. After finding a brochure of the Alpen optics products I found that they were much better priced in the USA than here in Australia. After looking around I found what I wanted on the Amazon site and purchased the Kit "20-60 x 80" a shame that Amazon does not ship to places outside the States so I had to ask a friend in California to forward the item to Australia. Upon arriving the scope was actually better than I thought it would be, however, the stand in the kit was broken and not of a good quality. I wonder why this seems to be the case with other brands too, why do producers not increase the price somewhat and add a good quality tripod? Luckily a good friend has all the tools to fix it and the combo works a treat. Easy to use, very clear optics, and so it seems overall a very good scope. It stood outside in the rain while observing birds and did not miss a beat. Excellent VFM (value for money). I should recommend this item and brand to friends albeit with the note not to bother with the tripod kit but to purchase a good one in a camera store.

Solid construction. Image is bright and resolution excellent at 20mm to roughly 40mm, falls off from that point on but is still decent at 60mm. Eye relief is good, but I wish the rotating eye cups had detents that would hold them in place at various extensions. I'm used to ring-type focusing mechanisms, such as those on DSLR camera lenses, so it took me a while to get used to using the Alpen's focusing knob. It isn't as fast as a focusing ring, but once I got accustomed to it, I found focusing to be easy and precise. Plus, unlike a ring focusing mechanism, it is easy to use with a soft support, such as a bean bag. This is a big scope, so you really need something solid on which to mount it. The table-top tripod that comes with the scope is usable in circumstances where you have a reasonably flat surface on which to place it, but if you're in the field you'll probably need a full-size tripod. (I haven't tried it on a monopod.) One nice feature is the rotating tripod ring, which allows you to rotate the body of the scope without changing the aiming point. Obviously, top end scopes from Swarovski and Leica will outperform this scope, particularly at the far end of the zoom range. But then, those scopes cost on the order of 7-8 times as much. This may be the best scope at its price point, and other reviewers have noted that it outperforms some "big name" scopes that cost 2-3 times as much.
