spotting scopes ?

So this thread has had Walmart at 59.95 and Swaro at, well, probably "lots".

I have been looking at one in between, Konus, from lots of places, including Jarheadtop (Jim Owens). $250 shipped, and it "could pick up .223 bullet holes at both 200 yards and sometimes at 300 yards depending on conditions", which is comparable to Kowa (he says). Looks pretty good.

I wish you hadn't said that!!!

I am very much like that.

Interestingly for me... Yesterday was overcast. I took my scope and some targets to a very large empty parking lot. I taped some targets to a dumpster. I had no problem seeing the holes I had made with a small pointed stick, at 211 yards.

So, when I shoot at the range... the last few times it has been hot and really bright. Earlier posts were talking about mirage.

So... hm...
