[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2887035, member: 97050"] I think a lot of us do, because that’s how optics were in the 80s, 90s etc. They don’t work well to see small things far and surely there’s not a lot of options to choose from in terms of special features. A monkey can go on google, Amazon and give a list of cheap spotters. That doesn’t mean they perform well to 400y. Attached is a picture of a Athlon. It’s a $800 model and pretty much tops out 1500y. This is an example of a good value, and that some of us have different levels of spotting scopes. Above that is a vanguard endeavor, which is about a 500y spotting scope. These perform much better than a $60 Simmons. The cheaper one the Doug sells is a Konus. You can see what that looks like here. Again, a black target trying to see bullet holes at 400? Idk…less risky to go with a Athlon or vortex Diamondback, which are probably coming from the same factory. [MEDIA=youtube]1D0NZDhB07A[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
