I'm new to spotting scopes & decided to look into one for my longer distance shooting with airguns. Initially, I was judging by the lowest price, thinking that the cheapest would suit my purposes. But after watching this very thorough review, I am opting for the SV13 & not the SV28. The options / features on this one will not only aid in my shooting, but will also help with my future RUclips videos. Thank you for doing such a thorough job! P. S. I like that new carry bag, too.
I’d like to see some footage in any distances to compare the image quality with others! Very good unboxing but in my opinion i’d like to see some footage ! Thanks for the review!
Reminds me of why the Japanese never developed radar during WW2. The Japanese naval binoculars were the best in the world, so when radar was discussed, the Japanese Navy felt they could spot enemy vessels with the binoculars better than this new “radar” could.
@@elvisammo looking forward to you looking at my channel. I am doing a lot of casting with Zinc. I would be happy to send you some different Zinc bullets you could try. Thanks for getting back to me.
Elvis, How can I contact you about a couple of casting and powdercoating questions? Hmmm. Removable eyepiece? Interesting. Do you happen to know what the drum diameter is? .965", or 1.5". Both are used in astronomical telescopes. The little cheapy scopes use the .965", while the better scopes use 1.5". The real high end stuff uses 2", and up. I have a Bushnell spotting scope, that was a yard sale find, but I like the canted eyepiece better. As an aside, if any viewers are thinking about buying their kids, or for themselves for that matter, a Telescope, DO NOT buy one from the local big box store. Most of those are sold, advertising How much power they have. The rule is, every time you double the magnification, you need to quadruple the amount of light. So, if a Telescope is advertised at 675 power, you almost need to be standing on the surface of the sun, to see anything. These lower end telescopes also come with a Solar Filter. It's a very dark filter that screws onto the eyepiece. If you have one of these, please listen closely to make it work better. Take the Solar Filter out and place it on a hard surface. Then take a hammer, and strike it sharply until the little black filter is pulverized. You have now fixed it. These Solar Filters are DANGEROUS! You are pointing a telescope at the Sun, and concentrating the rays onto a piece of black glass. As anyone knows, black absorbs light, and heat. If you happen to have that piece of glass fail, your retina will receive the concentrated rays of the Sun, causing irreparable damage. Going back to astronomical telescopes, if you are wanting to buy your first astronomical telescope, go buy a 6-8" Dobsonian type, where you look through the side. You will be much happier. They are much more stable than the wobbly big box store crap (if you don't want your kid to be interested in astronomy, then by all means buy them the big box store junque). They will collect more light, allowing you to see fainter images. Most of the time, you will be using 20-40 power. That's determined by dividing the focal length of the eyepiece into the focal length of the objective lense. Not the diameter, but how far it is to where your lens or mirror creates a pinpoint of light. Example, 1000 mm(focal length) / 25mm (eyepiece focal length)= 40 power. There are other telescopes on the market that also use mirrors, and are enclosed, but those will hit your wallet pretty hard compared to a Dobsonian. Don't fall for the Equitorial mount, unless you know what you are getting into. The Alt/Az (flat plane) mount is fine for general viewing. Sorry I got kind of long in this explanation. The telescope that Elvis is showing is good for looking at the moon, Jupiter, and Saturn, along with being a good range scope. With an 80 mm lens, it'll pick up a good amount of light. Check out Orion's belt, our galaxy (Milky Way), and a list called Messier items. M-1 will be a challenge.
Very nice spotting scope just added to my Amazon wishList for Christmas
👍👍👍 hope ya get your wish! 😁

Another most excellent tutorial. Thanks!

Supporting comment for the algorithm
I’ll take it! 😂😂😂👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good review and information on the spotting scope. Thanks
You welcome… thanks for stopping by! 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks I'm looking at them now
Let me know if you have a question…👍👍👍
My neighbors house is about 50 yards away. Would I be able to get a nice, sharp view through their windows at that distance?
Buck is always looking for trouble!😂😂😂
I’d like to see some footage in any distances to compare the image quality with others! Very good unboxing but in my opinion i’d like to see some footage ! Thanks for the review!
Oh yeah! Keep em coming!
thankya sir!....
Looks like a good spotting scope. Thank for the info.
You’re welcome brother!!! 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks Elvis
👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Tripod is no longer carried. Any other recommendations for one?
It seems like no one wants to show what most viewers are interested in, bullet holes at distance. That would seem to be the point, wouldn't it?
National treasure!
Go Joe! 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have one and it’s great. I use it to spot when I’m shooting at 50 metres WA1500
Thanks for letting us know!!! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@elvisammo no problem and greetings from Northern Ireland
thank you for the review
Hey Eric! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍
Externally it looks exactly like the Konus. Can it be that they are made in same factory?
It’s all possible!
Does it have the arca swiss mounting plate?

Yea well we know how that worked out for them. Harry gave them a solid molly-wopping.
😂😂😂
Elvis my man!
Hey bud!!! Prepping on ! 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@elvisammo Uncertain times my friend, seems all we can do is prepare.
TacPreppers not that new … I stay that way! Man it’s really messed up though! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I sent you an email about a week ago- guess you never saw it. Was about you 77gn 223 bullet
Ok… I went back and found ya! 😂😂😂😐 I haven’t ever cast any of those in zinc.. I’ll have to check your videos out! 👍👍👍
@@elvisammo looking forward to you looking at my channel. I am doing a lot of casting with Zinc. I would be happy to send you some different Zinc bullets you could try. Thanks for getting back to me.
Good afternoon bro.
Hey brother… hope that bow got some goodies? 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sv28 25-75x70 VS sv13 zoomnya jauhan mana??
Thanks.
70x zoom
Your channel is turning into a infomercial.... what happened to the old elvis ammo ? Skill sharing ?
Coming up…stay tuned

Hecho en china?
Hong Kong to exact.
@@elvisammo i had hoped for made in japan, but then cost would be $1000 +
Phone mount sucks
It sucks and it’s the only thing that works! 🤔 it definitely takes some practice! 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
