[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 774738, member: 61747"] Sorry to be a pain but those things are still a bit dependant on non or reflective surfaces. Also, if you want to spot bullet holes on paper at 1200 we have a new set of issues. So, if you are looking for a RF that will do fine out to 600 yards on non-reflective targets, get the 1000 model RF from Leupold, Bushnell, Vortex, or Nikon for about $350. Spotting scope. If 1200 yards is the for viewing game, rocks, girls, or large steel plates on bright days then a cheaper scope will be OK, except crap like Barska. The Konus was great for this. At that range and those size targets you don't need a 20-60x80 high end scope. Nikon prostaff, Bushell Ultra HD, Vortex etc. I would look hard the Ultra HD 12-36 for this. If you are spotting bullet holes on paper, you will have to step it up big time. Even with the best glass you will struggle due to range conditions and mirage. This is likely not in your budget but I would expect 2000 to 3000 dollar optics for repeatable performance. As I mentioned we tend to pull out the Swarovski HD 20-60 x 80 for extended viewing, especially in low light, for long range, measured in miles, not yards. We are looking at tine length on deer and elk. My Bushnell does very well as I mentioned but it is a 1000.00 on midway and may be more than you wish to spend. [/QUOTE]
