I know that the really serious high powered rifle shooters have like $800 spotting scopes. But if I wait to save up that much it will just never happen.
Big 5 sporting goods has a 3 day sale goin on for the Tasco Essentials 20-60x zoom with 60mm objective lens reduced in price from $219 to $85. I bought one today, but will take it back if it's just not usable.
From playing around with it a little bit ... it seems like it will do the job. I'm pretty sure that at more than 100 yards I'm not going to be able to make out a .223 or even .30 caliber hole in a target. Can the $800 scopes do that? But I'm pretty sure I can at least read where the spotting markers are and read the score.
Anybody have one of these? Is it at least enough to work with, if not the best?
