Anyone use the Yukon Scout?  For 60, I am thinking about trying it.  It is 20x50 and I am thinking it will do what I need it to do.

Well, i had one and i gave it to a young birder.

 

The scope is light and easy to carry in a pack. I found the image bright, not at all dim, but also somewhat yellowish and warm. I also found the focuser to work easily, not at all hard to focus. It is a slow focuser, however, one has to twist the knob a few rotations. 

 

Not a bad scope (i have seen quite a few much worse). But, the image is very distorted. The field of view is narrow and almost all of it is bent and distorted. Only a tiny area at the center is nice and accurate.
