4.0 out of 5 stars
Decent scope, 24 Oct 2011
By achiral "chemstudent" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vortex Nomad 60mm Angled Scope (Misc.)
Scope presents clear, sharp, bright images. At close ranges out to about 500 yards the focus works only for 20 power. As the range extends, the focus works for greater than 20 power. In other words, if the object is 1500 yards away you may use 20 to 30 power and get good focus. If the object is 3000 yards away you might use 20, 30, or 40 power and get good focus. Only when the object is miles away will the 60 power focus properly. While using this scope hunting in the mountains I was able to see small birds flying in the trees at about five miles; the trees weren't visible to the naked eye at this range. With the object several miles away the focus at 60 power was sharp.
Used the scope to view a full moon. The image was so bright it temporarily blinded me. The turned the focus to 60 power and zoomed in on Jupiter. Three of Jupiter's moons were visible, as were Jupiter's colors. While I don't recommend the scope for star gazing, the fact that the 60 power focus works well enough to see Jupiter and its moons speaks well of it's abilities.
On the one hand it'd be nice to zoom in at 60 power on something only a few hundred yards away. If that meant sacrificing clear focus miles away I don't think I'd like it. If I could have both, the scope would get five stars. Simply from the laws of physics, I don't know if it's possible to get both.
For hunting, the scope does well. Being able to see animals miles away and decide to move or stay put is important. If an animal's only 1000 yards away and you need greater than 20 power magnification to decide whether or not to take the shot, you might want to see an optometrist. 20 power at typically encountered distances is plenty. Animals are not normally encountered as far away as Jupiter and its moons.
This scopes images are far above the images obtainable with low-end scopes.

This review is from: Vortex Nomad 60mm Angled Scope (Misc.)
I bought this a couple of months ago for a project I'm working on at the advice of a store employee/expert saying it was their "best seller". It was worse in terms of clarity, focus, and chromatic aberrations than a $60 Barska Colorado scope I bought on sale, so I returned it. I don't understand how Vortex can (try to) sell this for over $300.

TO SAY THE LEAST VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!, 20 Jun 2011
By B. Smith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vortex Nomad 60mm Angled Scope (Misc.)
Took the Nomad out this past week for the first time. Spotted an elk on a distance burn in board daylight with the sun to my back with an old pair of Bushnell Trophy 8x32 Binoculars. Was really excited to set up the Vortex Nomad on an a Vanguard Tripod expecting to zoom in on the elk and get some additional detail like the growth of his antlers. As I zoomed in each time I adjusted the focas knob. It seemed as I zoomed in on the bull the clarity got less and less. I was never able to tell what kind of antlers this bull had. In fact, the clarity of the Bushnell at 8 power with two eyes was better than the Nomad with one eye at the 20 power. TO SAY THE LEAST VERY DISAPPOINTING!!! What I was hoping for was as I zoomed in that the detail would get better and better or at least stay the same so that as I zoomed in that more detail could be seen. However the detail deteriorated proportionately as I zoomed in. A total waste of money!!! I would never recommend this product to anyone. If you are backpacking don't waste the effort on carrying in this scoping scope with a tripod, an entry level pair of binoculars is much better, lighter and handier.
This is the most disappointing purchase to date that I have ever made!!! I will definitely be trying to return this product.
