The latest spotting scope to hit the market is the ZeroTech Thrive 20-60×85. Designed for hunters and shooters looking for a good balance of performance, reliability and price. I have been using the ZeroTech MIL reticle spotting scope for almost two years now and that comes with me every trip to the range. Its great to see a more affordable spotter available and its attractive features for hunters.
At the heart of this spotter is an 85mm objective lens, designed to bring in more light than more compact scopes, offering a clear field of view even in low light conditions such as dawn or dusk. What sets the Thrive 20-60×85 apart from many of its peers is its 20-60x variable magnification. At 20x, it provides a good field of view for scanning the hills, while the 60x setting lets you get details you need especially when picking out a trophy animal or spotting impacts on a target. This spotter is well suited to life at the range or out in the field.
The fully multicoated ED glass ensures great light transmission and minimal distortion, helping provide sharpness and good color fidelity. The Thrive 20-60×85 features IPX5 waterproofing which prevents rain, snow, or even a little mud from ruining the trip. The fogproof design also adds another layer of reliability, keeping the scope operational no matter how much the weather turns.
This spotting scope comes with a built in ARCA-Swiss tripod adapter, allowing easy attachment to tripods without needing to purchase additional adapters. This makes pairing it with your tripod for a stable, longrange session alot easier.
The tube focus system offers quick and precise focusing, making sure you can shift between targets or refocus without losing valuable time. The ergonomic design features a rotating tripod collar allowing you to adjust the scope’s position to fit your viewing angle.
The package also includes a soft carrying case, giving you added protection in the field or during transport, plus a lens cleaning cloth to keep your glass ready for action.
For hunters and shooters looking for an affordable spotting scope that doesn’t cut corners on performance, the ZeroTech Thrive 20-60×85 offers some great versatility in a package that’s ready for whatever you throw at it. Lastly, another thing to consider is the lifetime, fully transferable warranty that comes with the spotter, should you need it.
