Great as long as you don't wear glasses.

I have the MD50 straight and wear glasses. Love the scope as long as I'm wearing contacts. Regardless of where its set, the eye reliefs sucks if you're wearing glasses.

I will second this.  Best all around spotting scope there is.  Mine goes everywhere, in fact if I had to choose between the scope or binos, I would take the scope every time.

I just bought the Vortex Nomad and absolutely love it.  I would classify it as mid sized.  Seriously worth every penny...I can't believe I have lived without a good spotter for so long.

I will third this one of the best investments you can make if you hunt an area that you need good glass.

I have this one too. The minox is the size of a 12oz pop bottle. No comparison size wise. Both are great scopes for tiger $$$.
