The angled-viewing Endeavor XF 20-60x80 Spotting Scope from Vanguard combines a nitrogen-filled magnesium-alloy housing and a fully multi-coated optical path to create a zoom optic that is well suited for intermediate- to long-range observation. Vanguard equipped the Endeavor XF series with phase-corrected BAK4 prisms, which maximize color fidelity and produce contrast-rich images.
In addition to its image quality and weather-sealed construction, the Endeavor XF includes several features that enhance the scope's functionality. This version of the Endeavor XF spotting scope has a 20-60x zoom eyepiece that features a comfortable 19mm eye relief and twist-up rubber eyecup. The tripod foot has a standard 1/4"-20 mount and is compatible with Vanguard tripods that have a universal mounting shoe. An integrated sunshade and flip-down objective cover as well as a custom-fit raincoat carrying case help to make the Endeavor XF a well-equipped spotting scope for outdoor use.
