Spotting scopes are typically used anytime you need more magnification than a binocular can offer. They’re widely used for birding, surveillance, hunting, viewing landscape and wildlife, and for long-range shooting. You can even use them to take long-distance pictures with the right camera equipment. Athlon Optics offers several spotting scopes at a variety of price points to help fit into almost any budget.
