[QUOTE="Gene, post: 146127, member: 7402"] I shoot in registered 600 meter groundhog matches. We have tested and compared all brands of spotting scopes. Mirage is the limiting factor, and cutting back on the power setting will reduce but not completely eliminate mirage. Yes, it is then more difficult to see bullet holes. My spotter is a Leica Televid 77mm objective, and it is very good, when conditions are ideal. Other high end spotters are just as good: Swarovski, Pentax and Zeiss to name a few. I discussed this with a gent in Tennessee the other day. He works on all binoculars and spotters. He said, and I agree "The larger the objective, the better you will see bullet holes at 600 Meters if mirage is not a factor". [/QUOTE]
