I've read through a large number of spotting scope threads here and in other forums but have not found exactly what I'm looking for.
Details:
- Able to see .223 holes at 300yrds
- Willing to spend up to $1000 but would prefer to spend less
- I understand the value of buying quality however the buy once cry once argument is not convincing. Any money save here will be repurposed for other shooting stuff.
My current scope on the model 12 is a Athlon Argos 10 - 40X56. Not used it past 100yrds yet (see below)
Also wondering if I should just replace my scope for the same kind of money and use it for spotting. That all assumes a sub $1000 scope can reliably resolve .223 holes at 300yrds. I will not have access to 300 yrds until April so I don't have an easy way to test what I have or even borrow a spotting scope to test.
