Product Description

The Yukon 100X is a revolutionary new spotting scope with unique optical characteristics it has two optical channels, 6-25 x 25mm and 25-100 x 100mm. This is the first spotting scope on the market using this system and that will deliver magnifications from 6x to 100x without the need to change eyepieces. The excellent light gathering capabilities of the 100mm multicoated objective lens makes the picture clear and bright in most viewing conditions. A slight drop off in image quality has to be allowed for at maximum zoom due to the extreme magnification.

The units bodyshell is rugged, weather resistant and, considering the high magnification range, is relatively compact and lightweight. The angled, rotating eyepiece allows use when you are unable to align your viewing position with the scope, such as when lying in a prone position. A lens hood is supplied to reduce flare and protect the front element from rain - it is reversible when not in use.. Fitted with a tripod socket, a sturdy tripod is essential for maximum performance at high magnification.

Includes a shoulder case.

Customer Reviews

Can't complain
I am no expert when it comes to scopes, had one given to me as a freebie :-)

I can't give you techie specs, but I can say I am happy with the scope. The clarity is superb, even at night. I can't quite get a pinpoint focus at full magnification. When looking at a star it seems a bit fuzzy, don't know if this is normal!

Switching over from 6x-20x is via a small dial which is quite smooth. When it switches over you might have to refocus a bit, but it maintains the point you were looking at. When zooming in you will have to keep refocusing. When at full zoom there doesn't seem to be clearly defined lines, but good enough to read a car registration plate at 1.1km. At 1.3km I could just about make out some of the letters through the heat haze, but lost it at 1.4km.

When panning around at mid range magnification I was surprised to see so much more detail. Objects completely invisible to the naked eye appear with good clarity.

The bag is pretty good and allows you to mount it on a tripod without taking the scope out. The tripod is very basic and not much use at 100x. You cannot touch the scope when on the pod at that magnification, way too much wobble, but OK if you keep your eye just off it.

Also liked the fact that you can swivel the eyepiece around to suit your comfort.

As a nooby with only experience of cheapo binoculars I give it a 5.
