Good for the price June 8, 2010

I've been using one of these for a while now as a range spotting scope. The good is that you get a decent magnification with an expected amount of distortion over most of the zoom range. The bad is that the distortion at maximum magnification makes interpreting the image almost impossible - especially in low contrast situations. Then again, you usually get what you pay for, and this gives a fair amount more than I expected.

I recently bought this scope and used it for spotting wildfowl on the far side of the reservoir. It focusses clearly, up to the maximum magnification enabling identification of distant birds on the water, even in low light. The field of view is very good, too.Obviously the image loses some luminosity at higher magnifications, but that is physics. I used it on a tripod, or just propped on a parapet and that worked fine. Presumably the scopes costing around a thousand GBP have better coating, but this one compares well with my recollection of looking through one of them. I quickly got used to switching from the 6-25x to 25-100x modes. Very happy with it and would recommend.

 You can do better than Yukon March 26, 2006

The Yukon 6-100x100 is better priced than equivalent spotting scopes, yet this item is not worth any price. The Yukon spotting scope has multiple problems. The most annoying is the view lense. One has to keep their head unnaturally still to keep the image in sight. Once the user achieves finding the image they need to use three controls to zoom and focus, two for the zoom options and then focus. With the weight of the front lense keeping the scope on target while selecting the zoom and focus, only exceptionally well disciplined people will be able continue to keep their head and the unit steady so as not to loose the image in the view lense.
For those who visit the Yukon website, it shows some incredible capabilities of a spotting scope, but it can't be the the Yukon 6-100x100. There is no plausible way it can magnify as demonstrated. The Yukon company should be investigated for false advertising.

I was at the range this weekend and using my buddy Dave's scope. This was really cool. When shooting at a 400 yards i could see my shots crystal clear. I ordered one just now. I wish it came with a full size tripod for my porch but nothing is perfect. This is a good scope though.
Great for the Burbs, The Moon or West Texas October 6, 2004

I originally got the Yukon scope because of the price and power and figured why not. I have purchased a 125x binocular once that was a total piece of junk and was skeptical that a scope of 100x power that costs less than $1,500 could be that great. I was in for a big surprise. I ordered the unit without ever seeing it in person and when I open the box the way the scope looked was pretty modern looking. It was different from any scope I have ever seen. The unit is much larger in person than I thought but that is because it has a really big front main lens and a smaller front one. I took it outside to view some things in my back yard and once I figured out the dial on the side changed from a easy to manage 6-25 power scope to a very high magnification from 25-100 like they said on the box. It was amazing. The lower setting allowed me to see thing so clearly and close up even if they things I was seeing were close. I was looking at a neighbor's car down the street and I could read the expiration date of state inspection sticker as clear as if I was 2 inches from it. I showed a friend of mine the scope and he was pretty impressed too. His boss has some land where we used it for watching deer going to the feeder so we don't have to scare them off. I tried it to look at the moon last weekend when the moon was almost full it that was pretty cool. I have never used an astronomical telescope before so I have nothing to compare it to but the moon filled the entire viewing and was very clear and I have never seen it better in a photo in a magazine. Although it is not small it did everything I needed and was not too heavy. I highly recommend this scope to anybody especially if you want the real deal and not get ripped off by paying out the noise for a lesser scope.
