I sold my old 883 to a friend which helped get funding for this new scope. This scope is amazing! My old 883 was amazing, this 99A is just that little bit more. I called and spoke with Coty to order this scope, the purchase was easy, and shipping was FAST. I've decided I need to do some digiscoping, and Coty has helped with those purchases as well.
I tend to be skeptical, so when this site came up in my search, I had to call and make sure. Trusting a store you haven't heard of, to purchase a $3,600 scope makes me wary. I called and spoke with Coty, immediately I felt reassured. I purchased a Kowa TSN 99A kit on Friday, it was delivered on Tuesday, fast shipping! I will not hesitate to order from Coty again! Oh ya, this spotting scope is awesome!
For a low price tag and a lower tier of spotting scopes, this one keeps up with the rest of them. Seeing targets out to 1400 yards is no issue. Crisp image at the lower magnification settings. Would highly recommend to anyone on a budget or just getting into long range shooting or hunting. Athlon is always the way to go!
Excellent clarity mounted on my Kowa tsn -664m scope.I am able to view objects at various due to it being crisp and clear and it’s brightness is top quality. The eyepiece is outstanding.
After much online research I purchased the Midas series from Coty at Trophy Optics .
I liked them so much that I wanted to try the Cronus series , but wasn't sure the extra money was worth the step up . Called The Athlon company and spoke to a very knowledgeable staff member who took time to explain to me what the differences between the Midas and Cronus series are , and how they differ in the field . I decided to purchase a pair and have been very happy with them . A little heavier than the Midas but the edge to edge clarity is phenomenal . The locking diopter is very handy . Focusing is very easy . In short , I love them . i am seriously considering getting the 15 x 56 version for long range glassing and astronomy viewing . The reviews on them are also very good . I think that Athlon products are the best value for the money .
Did a lot of research online to find the best binoculars for money . Athlon kept coming up . Almost all reviews were very good , so I purchased the Midas G2 10x42 from Trophy Optics . Love the clear crisp image. Very easy to focus . Diopter adjustment stays where I set it . Very lightweight . Very well built . Lifetime warranty is a bonus .
Coty at Trophy Optics was great to work with and had 10% off . Would recommend the Midas series for anyone not wanting to spend a lot of money to get a pair of really nice binoculars .
Scope works great for intended purpose at the range.
Customer service was fantastic. Trophy Optics is very eager to make sure you are satisfied with your purchase. Thank you.
I had a Vortex razor 65mm and this spotter is just as good if not better. I sold the razor and picked this up for half the price. This scope is much smaller and easier to fit in my pack. Very impressed with this very high performing spotter at half the cost of its competition. If your looking for compact backcountry spotter, pick up one of these.
Well made, stay on case for the TSN-663 scope. Well thought out design for keeping covers and flaps out of the way using strategically place velcro. Highly recommended.
