BLACK Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 You say you need a good spotter? I hear Leupold makes a good glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckcop Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) With such an open-ended question you're likely to get as many different answers as there are actual spotting scopes. You've got to ask yourself a number of questions in order to narrow down the possibilities: What do I need a spotting scope for? Or, asked another way, what level of quality do I really need? Identifying 223 hits @ 200 yards? Or checking 308's at 1000? Looking at birds in the back yard? Scoping for Bighorns on the next rocky ridge? How much do I have to spend? $250? $1000? $4000. How much an I really going to use it? Every weekend? Once a month? Once a year? I could tell you that I'm happy with my old mid-range KOWA. I could also tell you I'm ecstatic with my new higher-end Swarovski. But you're probably going to be using one differently than me. Lots of variables. I'd do a whole lot of interweb searching and narrow down the possibilities that fit within your needs & budget.

truckcop Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Indeed it is! And I only had to sell 2 rifles, 3 pistols, another spotting scope and 1000 rounds of 9mm ammo to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benelliwerkes Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) anyone know of any good spotter scopes? in the market for one Yes. But mine's not for sale. I'm with TruckCop on this one. Spotting birds or bullet holes ? These are good to about 300M for bullet holes in white paper; after that it's helpful to have a wireless camera system .
