Spotting Scope
Explanation:
solo ottica


E’ un vero peccato che l’importatore italiano non commercializzi la versione Spotting Scope (sola ottica) del ETX125, che come vedremo ha parecchie frecce nel suo arco.

http://digilander.libero.it/photallica/etx125.htm

Disponibile anche in versione Spotting Scope (solo tubo ottico con attacco per treppiede fotografico), ottimo come teleobiettivo o per le visioni terrestri a € 708,00 o € 108 più 12 rate mensili da € 52,80 TAN 0% TAEG 4,78%.

Explanation:
Scope doesn't mean anything in Italian. I't's jus a suffix coming from the ancient Greek word: SKOPEO, that is either to look at or to see.
As a suffix, it is always used following something else: Telescope, in Italian telescopio, means seing far ahead
Tele= far ahead
Skopeo= seeing

So, scope alone doesn't make any sense
