Roger that!
In seriousness, most of the optics I've used for spotting are higher end Leupold, Swarovski and S&B at 600+Y ranges. One of the less expensive pieces of glass another shooter brought to the range that impressed me for the price was

.223 discernable on a paper target out to about 500Y and .308 on steel to about 800Y were crystal clear. There is a slight amount of distortion around the edges of the image and on the highest magnification (60X). The biggest issue was that it is front heavy so you need a decent tripod. Eye relief might be an issue also as you almost have to put your eye on the glass to get a good pic and the variance is very low, if the wind moves the scope at all, you can get shading. On the plus side, clarity and brightness are outstanding for the price point (<$300).
TLDR: For target shooting or hunting at shorter ranges, it performed well for the price. I probably wouldn't take this into the field because it can take a bit of effort to get clear on the target.
