Default SVBony SV46 20-60x80 Spotting Scope Review


https://youtu.be/o7D3fjDXgxs

I reviewed the a budget tier SVBony SV28 a few months ago and found it to be good value for a sub $100 spotter. The SV46 is a big step in features and a moderate step up in price.

It’s optics, while underwhelming, are on-par with similar scopes in this price tier and magnification range. The Athlon Talos has better glass but has less features and looks and feels cheaper in comparison. The SV46 has a well built tube, adjustments, and controls normally found on spotters twice its price. As evidenced by very tight seal on the lens cover, is extremely water tight.

PRO

Built in Sun Shade
Water tight seals
Built in eye-cup
Fine and Course focus knobs
Indexed mounting ring

CON

Shallow eye-relief
Not sharp from edge-to-edge
Chromatic aberrations

USAF51 RESOLUTION
Group: 0 / Element: 4

i bought this spotter back in 2019 after this video popped up on my feed

and i would agree that for the price, it is a serviceable spotting scope.
i typically attach a cellphone and view it that way, so i can take pictures and record, so the eye relief is less important.

there is quite a bit of CA, so obviously not great for photography and not comparable to really pricey scopes, but it works for spotting holes or hits ok.
