Spotting Scope Binocular
Spotting Scope Binocular
I'm in the market for a serviceable spotting scope.?
I know practically nothing about spotting scopes but I'm looking for something that's usable. Maximum range I expect to use it is 600 yards. I have no idea how much magnification I need or how much quality I need. Would something like a $100. one from Gander mountain suffice or do I need to spend more money? I'm a big fan of Nikon... I own their cameras, lenses, binoculars and rifle scopes but if I can avoid it I'd rather not spend what they're asking for a spotting scope.... a nice little Super Blackhawk with a 10 1/2' barrel followed me home and sort of depleted my toy budget. Then again I'd rather spend that much than waste $100. on something that will only cause frustration.
Thank you... I appreciate your effort.
Butch... you surely may and thank you. I suspected as much but I wanted to hear it from someone who KNEW... not SUSPECTED. I'm off to do your suggested reading.
600 yards and a $100 spotting scope really don't mix, you'll never see your bullet holes at that distance unless you're using some sort of artillery. Kowa is going to be the best one for you, but expect to spend a "bit" more than $100... Might I suggest a little light reading on the subject here:

Ignore the fact that it's on a black powder cartridge rifle site, the info applies to all forms of medium to long range shooting.
