"My Alpen spotting scope is a good scope for hunting at 100 yard ranges. It gives me lots of clear images to see every bullet that I connect with. Even though it's a bigger scope, the tripod still handles it well, and I can adjust the zoom very precisely. It also came with a solid soft case that makes it simple to take with you along with other gear. Two thumbs up."

"I bought my Alpen model 788 spotting scope mainly to help me in a rifle competition. It helps me see where my bullets hit the target. I adjust for wind and elevation, accordingly. I feel like even though I paid half of what some of the other competitors paid for their scopes, mine is just as good as theirs, even up to distances of 500 yards. The angled eyepiece is great because it lets me see my targets without having to switch positions. That's really important to me."

"I have an Alpen 20x60x80 spotting scope, which is really sweet. I personally feel that it's better than my cousin's Kona scope. It's brighter, and is even stronger when it comes to magnification."

"I feel that cheap Alpen scopes are wonderful tools for any outdoorsman who is on a budget. It's such a good scope for the price. It's even super sharp at low light, plus the eye relief is great. I would absolutely recommend Alpen spotting scopes for anyone looking for a bargain scope that gives you some bang as well."

"I use my rifle to shoot targets usually in the 150 yard range, and the Alpen spotting scope that I got is perfect for that. I can see all of my bullet holes with crystal clarity. You have to use a tripod to hold it steady. It's pretty durable too. I can just throw it in the back seat (too lazy to use the case) and it still works just great!"
