Has anyone heard anything about this scope? It sounds interersting but can find no reviews anywhere.

I bought one: Orion Grandview 20-60x100

I broke down and just bought one off of the internet from Orion's site. The scope is amazing. It resolves with wonderful color even on a overcast Minnesota day. I thought that the scope would be too bulky to take around, and it is larger than other scopes, but you hardly notice it unless you are trekking into the woods for a day. The only down side is the small field of view, 53-90 feet at a thousand yards. Optical performance makes up for this with sparkling clarity. For the money spent it is highly worth it if it is your first scope (or for all those who post looking for a cheap scope). Contact me if you would like more specific information. I highly endorse this scope.
