| Can you guys recommend me a spotting scope that I can use out to 100yds. I would like something that will make seeing the target easy but is not very expensive. I'm a college kid so I would like to buy this without spending a ton. |
| The little Winchester scope has worked fined for me for informal shooting at 100+ yds. Can easily see .223 holes in the black at that range. Paid $89 for mine--scope, hard case, and tripod. Not a spotting scope for the hard core purist, but worth the money as an interim or back-up. |

We have a few of the Bushnell 15-45x Camo Spotting Scope Kit we did sale them for $349.95 but I will take $215.00 for them. The kit comes with a tripod and a backpack case.

If you are an avid shooter, just low on cash (I still remember college, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth), buy the cheapest straight telescope/tripod combo you can find. You can likely find one at Walmart, etc. for under $50, maybe way under on sale. It won't be uber-chic but you can try it and return if it doesn't work, and get another cheap one that does. I know this may sound crazy, but, as others stated, 100 yards is cake for almost any optic of 15-20x or more unless light conditions are very difficult, like near dark, etc. If you like to shoot there will come a day when you want a good spotting scope. When you do, and money is available, you can get a good Kowa, Swarovski, Zeiss, etc. But - you won't be "buying twice", and when you junk the telescope, or pass it along to a kid without one, you can feel good two ways. Will the cheap telescope see holes at 200 yards? Not likely, maybe .308, or bigger on a good day. 300, no way ever. But 100 will not be a problem, and 100 is where a lot of ranges stop anyway. Having bought several "compromise" spotting scopes over the years, there is absolutely no substitute for having the one you really want. |
