I bought a Barr & Stroud 20-60x80 spotting scope as I had seen a colegues and was very impressed. I ordered it one day and it was delivered the next, now thats service. My sport is archery and I need to destinguish the "nock" (back end) of my arrows that are in a target at 100 yards. The target would also have many other competitors arrows in it so I must be able to identify my own and the size is approximately 6mm diameter. This I can do very easily with the spotting scope I have just bought. I would recomend "if you need a spotting scope check this one out".

This scope is of reasonable quality and for the price gives a fairly good image. Its not of Kowa quality... you get what you pay for. However, whether the one I purchased is rogue or perhaps one of a batch, or worse still, they are all alike, it does not have a standard tripod mounting female thread... in consequence it will not fit a tripod mounting plate. The screw thread that does fit is that of an M6 bolt. Tried the scope on three different tripods to no avail. Had to bodge up a fitment, which works, but is less satisfactory. I do not think I would have purchased the scope had I realised this particular problem existed. I emailed Barr and Stroud regarding the Sahara 20-60x80 Spotting Scope issue and they ignored my email. Great service...not! The company that sold the item did respond by saying they would put the information regarding the non-standard fitment on their site. So its "caveat emptor".... I will probably buy myself a better scope ... one with a reliable fitment from a more mainstream company such as Nikon or Opticron.
Very happy with this scope. I use it for watching the shipping traffic around the harbour close to my home, and it is excellent for closing up on names, equipment etc. The single problem is of course not with the scope itself, but with the support for it, which should be rock-steady. The tripod which I bought to support it (the Hama offered as a companion purchase) would be good for a small camera, but the weight of the scope is such that it wobbles continuously, which makes clear viewing at high magnification very difficult - not impossible, though; just takes practice.
