125X Magnification

This Benchmark spotting scope features an unprecedented 125x magnification allowing you to zoom in on target miles away. While the included tripod is adequate for low to mid magnifications, we highly recommend using a heavy-duty and rock-solid tripod to take advantage of its 125x high magnification. It will be extremely difficult to stay focused without a sturdy tripod at magnifications above 60x.

Whether you're looking to get a close-up view of wildlife or spot a target at the range, the Benchmark's powerful 25-125x variable zoom range and large 88mm objective lens will deliver stunning clarity and detail. In addition, this Benchmark Spotter is waterproof and shockproof, and features a rubber coating to protect the internal optics from bumps and scratches.

  • Nitrogen-purged and sealed to prevent fogging and internal corrosion
  • O-ring sealed for waterproof protection
  • Fully-Coated Optics for enhanced clarity
  • Dynamic Objective Focusing system allows you to focus on target by turning the objective lens
  • Adjustable zoom power eyepiece allows you to increase magnification

DYNAMIC OBJECTIVE FOCUSING SPOTTING SCOPE

AD11182

Dynamic Objective Focusing

The Dynamic Objective Focusing system (DFS) allows users to focus on the target by turning the objective lens. Most spotting scopes will have a focusing wheel on the right making it difficult for users to stay on focus when changing the magnifications. Our unique DFS focusing features allows you to adjust the focus while increasing its magnifications simultaneously. Simply turn the front part of the spotting scope (black area near the objective lens) to adjust the focus. Remember to adjust the focus when the target and/or magnification is changed.

88 customers mention57 positive31 negative

Exceeds expectations.
5 Stars
Exceeds expectations.
For the price, I am extremely satisfied. It exceeds expectations. The attached photo shows a railroad crossing sign that is 1300 yards away. The other shows a target at 75 yards...each square is 1" across. the fishbowl effect in the first is because I didn't have the camera lined up right and the sun was to my back. I put a little piece of tape as a sunshade between my camera and the eye piece and it's better now in the second photo. This is absolutely a great value given the serviceable quality.The tripod and it's adjustments are metal. Which was a surprise. I had a plastic tripod with a spotting scope previously and it was very shaky. This thing is very solid.
