Re: Spotting Scopes

Like rifle scopes, you get what you pay for in spotting scopes. With a $200 spotting scope, it may look nice and clear when your looking at birds, but try to see a .22 caliber bullet hole at 400 meters.

I use a 12 X 40 gold ring Leupold. Expensive, but you only buy one in a lifetime.-----------6
