[QUOTE="Ed Hamlin, post: 1622807, member: 108997"] Bigger objectives are better for a spotting scope. It provides more light, which provides more contrast when looking for that elusive Couse Deer at a mile or two. Also the larger objective allows for a larger field of view. As an old photographer, we always want the the biggest piece of glass we can afford. With regard to seeing the clay at 2000 m/y's it was a rhetorical statement from how I read it. Seeing a 108-110 mm orange disc at that range would be quite the challenge. [4.33071" diameter for a clay] I'd paint it a different color that the eye sees better. research is proven. "The green color was created by analyzing the way the rods and cones in our eyes are stimulated by different wavelengths of light. The company found that the human eye is most sensitive to light at a wavelength of 555 nanometers—a bright green." so if you want to shoot something at long distances change the color of the target.
