Product Description
The Yukon 6-100x100 is a revolutionary spotting scope that delivers crystal-clear magnification from 6x to 100x, with no distortion or loss of image quality. Yukon's engineers have achieved this exclusive capability by using two multi-coated objective lenses, one with a 35mm aperture and the other with a 100mm aperture. Both lenses share a common ocular lens, which allows for a smooth transition as the viewer adjusts the scope to the desired magnification.For low magnification observation, the device utilizes the 35 mm lens. Linear zooming allows magnification adjustments between 6 and 25x. When more magnification is desired, the flip of a switch shifts the light path from one lens to the other. With the 100mm objective lens, zooming capabilities increase to 25-100x magnifications. The enormous light gathering capability of the 100mm lens creates a bright and clear picture in nearly all-viewing conditions, including twilight.In accordance to Yukon Advanced Optics' tradition, the Yukon 100x's design provides the user both power, quality and comfort. The scope's body is surprisingly lightweight and compact, making it easy to transport. The high-quality optics are guarded by a durable, composite body.To prevent viewing fatigue or discomfort, a specially designed adjustable 45-degree, rotating eyepiece is utilized to suit the viewer's comfort from any angle, even when lying on the ground. The unit accommodates both photographic and spotting scope tripods and can double as a telescope for late night stargazing.

From a birding enthusiast November 1, 2004

I first saw this scope at the our local International Migratory Birding event. (For those who don't know about this, it takes place every second Saturday in May. It celebrates the return migration of our native birds across the country. An excellent event, look for your local gathering.) The scope looked quite different from conventional spotting scopes. This was because it isn't conventional. The magnification range goes from 6 to 100. This range is almost outrageous but it really works. The dial on the top is nice. It gives you a constant readout as to what magnification you are at. The rotating eyepiece is an excellent idea for this scope. Two can use it at the same time by just passing it back and forth. Something important when choosing a scope, especially for birding, is magnification and weight. The 100x scope is very light. I have no problems carrying this into the woods or on a hike. I wish it came with a hardcase but the soft case that is included is nice and is actaully functional.
If you are looking for a scope within this price range, seriously consider this one.

When I came across this Yukon 6-100x scope I thought the concept was great. After doing some research and finding some strong magazine reveiws I went ahead a got it. When I first pulled it out of the box I saw it came in a soft case that can be used while looking through the scope. It also has a good strap to carrying.
With the scope in my hands I first saw that there is an extendable sunshade on the end that cant be seen from the picture. The scope is very light, especially for its size not to mention a fairly different looking housing. The glass looks good and has two objective lenses. Switching between the two is easy with the knob on the side. On the top there is a dial too which tells you the magnification you are at. The eyepiece rotates 360 degrees and has a good eyepeice focus on it. As far as clarity, the scope is very good. Obviously the image quality is better at the lower powers but the high power is quite good as well. Even at over a 90 magnification. I haven't seen anything else that has the range of this scope, I don't know why other companies aren't doing this. It seems good for most needs even astronomy but mine will be parked at a window at my house.
This was an intresting scope so just a little food for thought. I liked it.
