I'm in the market for a spotting scope, but it has to be a budget scope as I'm still saving for my primary rifle scope (a nightforce F1). I plan on doing ladder tests @ 200 yards and target shooting at 400 yards in good light. I need to be able to spot my impacts on 12x18" shoot-n-c targets at 400y with my AR. Will any of the budget scopes under $500 accomplish this mission? Right now I'm eyeballing are the:
Bushnell Trophy XLT 20-60x65mm
Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 20-60x80
Leupold SX-1 Ventana 20-60x80mm
Bushnell Trophy XLT 20-60x65mm
Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 20-60x80
Leupold SX-1 Ventana 20-60x80mm
