Spotting Scopes of Note

Yukon Firefall Kit 15-45x60 AE

Mid-priced Scopes Round-up, 2009

by Michael and Diane Porter

This is the big brother to the Yukon Firefall 50mm, identical in design. Pay $20 more than the 50mm, and your resolution score rises from 3.0 to 3.3.

The 60mm Firefall Kit comes in both angled and straight versions, which include a tabletop tripod, nylon carrying case, and tactical hard case. Considering that this Yukon Firefall has decent optical quality and costs only $100, there's no reason for any birder to be without a spotting scope.

30x resolution score: 3.3; Overall score: 3.35
