Overview
An 80mm objective lens anchors the Swarovski 86618, a spotting scope built in aluminum and finished in green, with a body about 19.7 by 6.8 by 5 inches.
An 80mm objective lens is on the larger end for spotting scopes, generally trading some portability for a brighter image and better low light performance at longer magnifications. Aluminum construction keeps the body durable for field use, though the listing doesn't publish magnification range or weight.
