 This hunting season I was able to get my hands on RedHead’s Epic spotting scope. I put it to use out west
on a mule deer hunt. Here in Missouri we used it for scouting and hunting white-tailed deer. I have always wanted to try one
of these scopes and see how they compare to some of the more expensive models from other manufacturers that
cost three to four times as much.
This scope is a RedHead Epic model 20-60x60 in real tree camo. It is also nitrogen purged which makes it 100% waterproof and fog proof. That is a big plus when you are trying to spot game in bad weather. The Epic also comes in a kit with a window mount, small tri-pod, carry bag, lens caps and nice aluminum hard case with locks. You get all this in a package for just $270.00 I must say I was pleasantly surprised when I first put my eye up to this scope because it was clear and crisp from 20 power all the way up to 60 power. It also had no problems in the cold or rain. The focus knob on top is in just the right place to make easy focus adjustments while your looking though the scope. This scope also had very little problems on hot days out west focusing through heat waves. Redhead’s Epic scope did a great job keeping them in check and the built in sun shade was great to have at my finger tips to keep the glare out. I have used some $2000 spotting scopes of the same power in the past and must say the Epic scope is almost as clear as those. We are talking about afford ability and value as well as clarity in comparison of scopes. For me it’s a ‘no brainer’ for hunters who don’t want to spend $800 to $2000 dollars on a spotting scope. RedHead’s Epic scope offers great quality for the money in a clear dependable optic. So next time you are in the local Bass Pro Shop or looking at one of their catalogs check out the Redhead Epic spotting scopes I think you will like what you see. |
