I am looking for a spotting scope that I can set on a bench at the range and see 30 caliber bullet holes at a 100 yard target and maybe use for glassing in a hunting situation. Obviously I could just plunk down $1,000 and get a quality item but my question is what is a minimal level spotting scope? Magnification without clarity just results in a big fuzzy image. I've looked at some in stores but I can't really tell how they work outside and at 100 yards.
The primary use is for a target range with a 100 yard distance, for seeing groups fired from a 30-06. Day time use , so... "I THINK" light gathering isn't an issue and field of view not too critical.
If I go to a sporting goods store I get, "ALL our spotting scopes are good and the more you spend the better the product" Guys that just know how to ring up a sale. That doesn't really help.
What I need is, "I use the xyz Boomer with a 20x which costs $300 and I can see the bullet holes at 100 yards. Anything less won't work".
Thanks for any help.
