Looking for a decent spotting scope for the range. Not wanting to spend a mint, Anyone have any suggestions???
I've had good luck with 100mm Konus scopes, if you ask nicely I might let go of the spare.

Don't get the 80mm Konus or the Burris XT-75.
Tell us more.
I had good luck with a Barski 20-60x60 till it fell off the safe now I have a barski 25-125x88 coming around monday from sportmen guide . Good clear image and could see 22 holes at 100 yds with no problems.
I would like to know why also. I got one of the burris xt-75 for a xmas present and have yet to really use it...besides reading about a 6" square warning label (the larger print tripod wasnt stabile enough) on side of an international combine about 200+ yards away at my folks farm from the livinging room picture window.
This is what I use. I am sure there is something better out there, just not in the $300 range.

With either scope I could not see 308 bullet holes in paper at 200 yards. In addition, the Burris had debris in the eyepiece that interfered with viewing. Both were bought new...the Burris was returned and the Konus sold.
I have excellent vision without need for glasses.
Is there anything worth having for under 200 bucks? Or spend the extra for a good scope?
