I have an 80mm lens for a Fujinon super 60, that you can make out holes at 500. You'll get a headache from doing it though. The depth of field on an 80 mm lens is about one inch. The tripod you use had better be rock solid or you'll never focus it. I use a Gitzo Tele Studex, one of the best tripods out there and it's just good enough.

For .22 holes at 500 yards, I'd look at the larger 80mm objective spotters. If you are on a budget, the Konus Konusport 80 might be your best bet. If you want to by a nice one, look at a Pentax or Kowa.

I own the 80mm Konus, and it does pretty well for the money. However, I really don't think it will resolve .22 holes at 500 yards.

seeing 22 or 30 cal holes beyond 300 in paper targets, not going to happen. Mirage makes it a real bitch.
This with a fixed 27x Kowa TSN-823M. |

Ther is a target camera set out there on the internet, but I can't find it now. Seems to me it was about 1K for a thousand yard version. There is a video of it on Youtube but is doesn't identify the maker. Search for "Target Camera". Hal |
