[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 363982, member: 12443"] since your from pa. theres a good chance you will end up putting a pair of scopes in a bracket for use as binnocs. so consider that when buying a scope. very few serious pa. hunters use a single scope. by far the most popular scope for that purpose is the bushnell spacemaster. the older ones in the grey color are at least arguably better than the new ones. the older black ones are just as good to my mind. they can be bought on ebay very reasonably, $150 on average for a very nice one. dont worry about the eyepiece as it can be changed, which is another advantage of those scopes. the older kowas can also be bought reasonably. i have a pair of t.s.n.2s 77mm in a bracket and they are excellant. mine have 30x eyepieces. they can be changed also, but are much more expensive than bushnell. angle eyepiece models wont work in a bracket. there is a t.s.n.2 on ebay right now with a zoom 20/60 eyepiece. that would be an excellant scope. it will probably sell in the $500 range. as for bullet holes at distance, thats tough with any scope unless conditions are perfect. even then white paper is necessary.
