 A very good compact monocular May 22, 2009

Alpen 20x50 Waterproof Mini-Spotting Scope is a very good compact and very affordable monocular. The objective lens is big enough so it still usable under a low light condition such as in a cloudy day. It has fully coated optics with porro prism which is a plus for me. The 20x magnification may be troublesome for someone who does not have a steady hand. But it has tripod mount connector, so you can simply attached it to the tripod that comes with it or other tripod/monopod. I use it sometimes to see the sky on a clear night mounted on my full size tripod. The free tripod that comes with it is very weak, so I mostly use it for my PNS digital camera.

What a pleasant surprise. For years, I've watched other guys lug around these bulky, 5 to 10-pound spotting scopes in suitcases so they can see if their bullets hit the bullseye at 100yds. After reading a few positive reviews, I opted to give this pint-size scope a try. It is a definite winner! It focuses easily and is as clear as any scope I've ever used. It is a straight view as opposed to the scopes with eye pieces that angle upward toward the eye. This product is a rare combination of bargain price and quality. The tripod is also good quality. This scope comes with a nylon carrying case that fits nicely into the side pocket, end up, of my SMALL range bag - and it only takes up half of the pocket at that. I hang my ear protectors over the portion sticking up. This way you don't have to start unzipping and digging into your bag for ear protectors (MANDATORY) before entering an indoor range. It weighs less than one box of some ammunition or a brick of .22LR.

I bought this scope to check my shooting in the pistol yard at 25 meters using standard ISSF targets. Even the little holes made with a .22 bullet are visible with this nice scope. Previously I used a 10x monocular but it was not a big help. I am really happy with this purchase.

The Alpen 20x50 Waterproof Mini-Spotting Scope is great/quality product for a first time user like me. My advice for any user is please have patient with it and gentle tune the scope.

I needed a scope to spot my bullet holes under 100yds, my other spotting scopes are too powerful for this short range. At this price and quality one can't go wrong to use this scope to look at pistol and 22 LR holes.
