Summary: Great for the Burbs, The Moon or West Texas
Review: I originally got the Yukon scope because of the price and power and figured why not. I have purchased a 125x binocular once that was a total piece of junk and was skeptical that a scope of 100x power that costs less than $1,500 could be that great. I was in for a big surprise. I ordered the unit without ever seeing it in person and when I open the box the way the scope looked was pretty modern looking. It was different from any scope I have ever seen. The unit is much larger in person than I thought but that is because it has a really big front main lens and a smaller front one. I took it outside to view some things in my back yard and once I figured out the dial on the side changed from a easy to manage 6-25 power scope to a very high magnification from 25-100 like they said on the box. It was amazing. The lower setting allowed me to see thing so clearly and close up even if they things I was seeing were close. I was looking at a neighbor's car down the street and I could read the expiration date of state inspection sticker as clear as if I was 2 inches from it. I showed a friend of mine the scope and he was pretty impressed too. His boss has some land where we used it for watching deer going to the feeder so we don't have to scare them off. I tried it to look at the moon last weekend when the moon was almost full it that was pretty cool. I have never used an astronomical telescope before so I have nothing to compare it to but the moon filled the entire viewing and was very clear and I have never seen it better in a photo in a magazine. Although it is not small it did everything I needed and was not too heavy. I highly recommend this scope to anybody especially if you want the real deal and not get ripped off by paying out the noise for a lesser scope.

Summary: Cool
Review: I was at the range this weekend and using my buddy Dave's scope. This was really cool. When shooting at a 400 yards i could see my shots crystal clear. I ordered one just now. I wish it came with a full size tripod for my porch but nothing is perfect. This is a good scope though.
