[QUOTE="ds, post: 20495, member: 3050"] Milanuk, I have the Optolyth TBS 100 with the 30-90x zoom and a couple of wide angle eye pieces. It is spendy but tough and good. The only other spotting scopes that I have to compare it with are an old Bushnell Spacemaster 15-45x which is now redundent as my Nightforce NXS 12-42 does the same thing (useable out to 200m to see bullet holes). I have seen bullet holes at 300m with the Nightforce but not often. Also I have a Meopta which is very good for the money. Living in CZ land it was fairly easy to get a boosted occular (109x) made but this gives you a very small exit pupil diameter. Another thing which may be ok but I have only seen one is a Yukon offering it has a 100mm objective and I think you can switch between 6x and 100x. One thing which people may have a different idea on is what is meant by "seeing a bullet hole". My idea is that I see the hole when I glance through the scope, I dont often have the time to look through the thing trying to find the shot for 30 seconds or so. Here the police use Swarovski ST80`s and others use Leica`s or Zeiss or Meopta. Hope it helps, David. [/QUOTE]
