What power is needed to see a good 50 - 100 yards? I had a Barska 20x60x60 from Cabela's and although the magnification was a little better than my $14 Tasco 12x25 binoculars. They weren't worth it, seemed kind of dark so I returned it.
I'm not familiar with the scope powers, but I'm looking for something inexpensive for my needs. Shoot: 75% @ 50 yards 20% @ 100 yards 5 % @ 200 - 300 yards (not very often and when I do I usually have to move up) |

I asked a similar question as did another 3 days ago. Most suggestions pointed to a scope by the name of Konus. It can go to x60 and has an 80mm lens. It compared almost idenically to a $900 KOWA scope and was only $219. Every review I could find was pleased with it.
I ordered it and it should be arriving today and will be able to test tomorrow. This will be the first spotting scope I have ever used, but I will let you know how it goes. |

Did you try your Barska on the actual range?
FWIW I have one of the 20x60 Barska Blackhawks....50-100 yards, no problem at all. Sure its crude, but 223 holes are certainly seeable enough at 200 yards, especially if using a shoot'n'c target. 300 yards really pushing it for 223 but still OK for 308....although the thing is quite badly affected by mirage. Sub $100, you are kinda limited to the el cheapos, and they are all much of a muchness (Barksa, UTG,Leapers,NCStar etc - all the same). I have heard very good thing about the KONUS scopes as the poster above states although I have yet to see one. |
