I've read some posts on the subject and understand that top quality usually costs, but I just can't bring myself to spend more on a spotting scope than I did on most of my rifles. I need to be able to reliably see my .223 holes at 100 yards. Anything beyond that is "gravy" (though 200 yards would be nice). Which of the low-end spotting scopes would do this best (if any)?
I checked Cabellas and other catalogs, and a lot of scopes seem to be oriented toward hunting applications. Is there a difference between spotting scopes for hunting and for looking at holes in targets? I'm considering Bushnell, Simmons, Tasco, etc. Might move up to a better brand if necessary. Thanks.
