[QUOTE="ds, post: 20491, member: 3050"] I need to see 6.5mm bullet holes at 300m in the black. I can manage it most of the. The best I have come with so far is an Optolyth TBS 100 with the 20-60 zoom eye piece from a TBS 80 as this gives an effective 30-90 zoom on the TBS 100 (not sure why but I was told it does). Also there is a fixed 107x eye piece. I like this scope because it is good, tough and rubber armoured. As important as the scope is the tripod, Bogen/Manfotto are good (I like the heavy duty green job - 055 NAT3) otherwise in the slightest wind you get movement so however good the optic you ain`t going to see what you need. That said a bit cheaper way and maybe a better way is to get astro type telescope (Meade) with a bigger objective and much more magnification, I know a few people who use them, they say they can see bullet holes at 500m no problem, but they are not normally waterproof and are a pain in the butt to set up, even on a concreate floor. Even with good glass if the light is not right or the heat is bad I think it will be very hard to see what you want. ds [/QUOTE]
