This spotting scope sure seems to have the range in it! I like that it comes with an adapter in the bottom to attach it to a tripod. This is necessary if you are going to range past a hundred yards. When looking out to distances farther than that, any motion of the hand, including the mere act of pushing the range or mode button, is enough to greatly move the rangefinder off target. Therefore, a tripod is a must for accurate long-range ranging, and this rangefinder is well equipped to fit such a setup.
