WULF Nova 20-60x80 Dual Focus Spotting Scope Review

WULF Nova 20-60x80 Dual Focus Spotting Scope Review

If you've ever tried to spot wildlife, target hits or even nosy neighbours at a distance with cheap glass, you know the frustration, it's like trying to read a book through a plastic bottle. Enter the WULF Nova 20-60x80 Dual Focus Spotting Scope, a bit of a mouthful, but possibly the last name you'll need to remember when it comes to clear, crisp long-range viewing. I’ve spent some time putting it through its paces, from hedges less than 10m to the hills at 1.8km, and here’s how it stacks up when the zoom gets serious.

Quick look

The new WULF Nova 20-60x80 Dual Focus Spotting Scope offers high tier optic quality at entry level prices. New for 2025, the NOVA features a 20-60x magnification range with an 80mm objective for a wide field of view and bright images and detail. The dual focus system offers a coarse and a fine wheel for quick but precision focusing at different ranges. A wide field of view is available on this unit at 35-75m at 1000m giving this unit an exceptional bang for your buck.

Dual Focus System

When a spotting scope describes itself as having a dual focus system, it means there are two separate focus controls:

• Coarse focus (sometimes called “fast” or “primary” focus)

This is a larger wheel or knob that moves the internal optics a larger amount per turn. Its job is to let you rapidly adjust from a general unfocused state (e.g. target far, or very close) to somewhere near focus.

• Fine focus (also called “micro” or “precision” focus)

A smaller wheel or knob, often with much more subtle movement. Once your subject is roughly in focus via the coarse wheel, the fine focus lets you tweak the image to maximum sharpness without overshooting or making big jumps.

What this allows you to do is quickly adjust the focus using the "coarse" wheel and then make the finer adjustment on the "Fine" wheel.
