[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 895100, member: 34084"] For hunting, I think the Meopta spotting scope is a good choice. I've been evaluating one for a few months. In terms of resolution across the field of view, it's a full step up from a simple ED or HD scope. However, it falls short of a Swarovski in terms of contrast, color fidelity and digiscoping accessories. If you have an iPhone 4 or 5, the Meopta digiscoping adapter works quite well. You should tie the eyepiece cover to the eyepiece to prevent the cover from getting lost. Bullet holes in white paper with a sunlit terrain behind the target will be difficult for any scope to detect. That's amounts to a tan spot on a white background and the contrast is just too low to be visible at a long distance. Combine that with turbulence blur that usually happens at shooting ranges, and I think the Meopta did quite well. [/QUOTE]
