help selecting a spotting scope
Guys
My last trip to calverton convinced me to finally get a spotting scope. It s been on my to buy list for years but something else awlays takes its place. I don't know beans about the magnification numbers. I want something that I can see if I'm hitting the bullseyes at 100 yds that is not big or expensive($100 or less) Any ideas?

A little over $100, but well worth it. I can see every 223 bullet hole at 200 yards. Works perfect for me

A bit more than your budget, but this is the best "cheap" spotting scope out there. You will definitely see .22 holes at 100yds, and 200 yds. if there is a bright background. I use this for service rifle at 200 yds.......

That's the one I got also. Was new on ebay for slightly under $100. Works great.BKLYN_C said:http://www.opticsplanet.net/tasco-20-60x80-world-class-spotting-scope-wc206080.html

Harbor freight has this:

Reviews are mixed, but for $40 bucks......
Also look at Celestron spotting scopes. I have a small telescope that my kids use to look at the stars and the moon, and it works very, very well. A big plus for the Celestron spotting scopes is that you can change the eye piece and get different levels of magnification and eye relief. Look at the MAK and the Mini-Mak line.

My vote: Winchester, model WT-831, 20~60x80mm. Great, for indoors or outdoors.

I bought one on eBay a few years back under $100.00 works just fine for the range.
I bought a Tasco at Walmart for $60 bux... works great on the 200yard line.
How is that one @ 100yds? 200 yds?sicpup71 said:
my blind ass can see it fine @100yrds haven't tried 200 yet .Tonto said:How is that one @ 100yds? 200 yds?
Check out Champion's Choice www.champchoice.com They have a decent "entry level" spotting scope that sells for $95.00. I have seen it on display at Camp Perry. It is not bad at all for the money. It will cover you out to 200 yards.
The one from Harbor Frieght is good at 50 yds but struggles at 100yds.

;D ;D ;D ;D
If you get lucky and can find an old model of the Kowa TSN-82SV which are amazing scopes for the money. And can sometimes be found cheaply.
I think there might be one for sale here on the forum.
