Would this scope be good for birding?

How far out? This scope is good to about 600 yards on a clear , dry climate

it's big but if that's not an issue this scope would be very good for birding

I don't see why knot. Most folks use binocs. Mounted on a mono pod it could work

Yes I use the scope for watching wild life also birds in the Sequim Wa. area.

It should work great! I use mine for birding and it does an excellent job. Very good optics. I purchased a harness to attach it to. I don't care for neckstraps.

While we're not full-time bird watchers, we use them to watch various forms of wildlife including birds and they work very well, focus in quickly, and let you track easily with the subject's movements. That, combined with their compact size, would make them perfect for what you are looking for in this price range.

I wear bifocals and also use this indoors and outdoors, and find it to be quite a good scope out to 200 yards for 22 caliber and up. Anything farther this isn't what you would want.

Yes, I bought this specifically for that purpose. The birdwatching mode has given me many more "keepers" than my p500. It seems to focus easily on the bird, ignoring fairground twigs and background objects. Great feather detail. Best of all: AMAZING reach. I love it!

Yes, even for birdwatchers. Go to GOOGLE canon G 15 tutorials. You will find a LOT of answers there.

Absolutely. Great clarity for birdwatching. Only complaint- the end covers do not stay in place.

This one is a good scope. Your use of the rifle will dictate the correct zoom range.

Yes this is a great scope for casual viewing I Sold a much more sophisticated scope to get this one because it is much easier to set up and faster to use (using star charts). The scope can use any 1.25" astronomy eye pieces. The scope is also perfect for Bird watching and of course as a spotting scope . The optical quality is as good as scopes costing two and three times as much and there are lots of reviews on birding sights and astronomy sights to back that up. It's just a great all around scope. I have owned one for five years and it is my goto scope for all my hobbies. Astronomy, Birding and Shooting.

Have not sighted in using this scope. Just used it to check out land. I would say, though @ 100 yards it would be ok. Hoping to use it this weekend or next to sight @ 100 & 200 yds.

The Ultima 80 would probably be a good scope for that. Not so good for astronomy, but good in low contrast situations. You might also consider the Ultima 60 or some good zoom binoculars.

I think they would be great. I love mine. I bought them specifically for bird watching and they are great, you can be just 5 feet away and still look at the birds even closer with those binoculars. They also have great magnification for longer distances and they are small and lightweight, which would be nice at the ballpark.

Yes the is a very easy scope to use. it would be great for that. Maybe a wide angle lens would help a little more.

It is an excellent scope for that, but it is heavy and you will need a good sturdy tripod. Not your average video or camera tripod.

It is a big heavy scope but I am sure it would be just fine.I had mine on a Remington 700xps and did not care for it.Optics are not all that clear far out or in low light conditions.I sent mine back and went with the Millet BK81001 4x16x50 TRS-1 and love it and glad I did.Mine would also not hold zero

No, I don't think so. I would recommend these binoculars up to 1,000 yards. You may want to use a telescope instead.
