This little scope is really quite good. It gets used often due to its portability. Optics are fairly decent. Shows mild false color but heck.... it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Would love to try a better diagonal in this to see how well it could perform. Breaks down at very high power.

Not bad optics but the mount will not allow you to look straight up. Nice travel scope. I still enjoy using mine from time to time as it was my first scope. Well worth $100 or so.
