Like the man said..."ya get what you paid for"
I invested in a Winchester Spotting Scope over 10 years ago...serves it's purpose
The Winchester® WT-6 spotting scope kit features a zoom spotting scope, a soft bag, a tabletop tripod, and a lockable metal storage case. The scope is crafted with a rubber-armored, aluminum body and a fully-coated optical system to reduce internal glare, high contrast, and bright images.
