[QUOTE="std7mag, post: 2931586, member: 125590"] Realistically, at 800 yards, the 20-25 power on the high end will let you see the target, and the mirage. Seeing the mirage is both a good and a bad thing. Bad in that it obscures your visibility. Good in that it helps with windage hold offs. Even with the most expensive glass, don't expect to see a 223 bullet hole at 800 yards. Heck, even 400 is pushing it, dependant on conditions. And with,( I'll call it inexpensive glass, not cheap) forget seeing a 223 bullet hole at 300 yards. If your set at 800 yards, and doing maybe a match or 3, I'd recommend saving up more money and finding a used Sightron SIII. Either the 8-32X56, or a 10-50X60. Used you can usually find one for $750 ish. [/QUOTE]
