Rifle Scopes Celestron Spotting scopes.

[eboggs]

Anyone have experience with these (mainly the Ultima 80)...i know i posted a topic earlier about spotting scopes..but not about these...

like i said earlier...i do have a budget i cant ignore..(175)
just want a decent spotting scope for the range and to see where bullet impact is on target...

thanks...

I got one, angle eye piece, its not a bad scope, eye relief is pretty short, I sell you mine with a creedmore bipod stand for 200 delivered, I want to buy a Bushnell FFP Mildot, no hurry LMK.

I had the Ultima 65 and returned it the same day. Iw as not happy with the picture quality. I then bought the Burris 2575 and it is way more clear. Worth the extra few bucks. I am sure there is better but for the money it is good. $190 at opticsplanet with 5% discount

I havea C-5 and it rocks. The only problem is that it is so big, its much more suited to clear days with limited mirage as its magnification (50-150X) is huge, just like its 5" objective.

Maybe just take that extra $175 and put it towards a better scope and just use it. My NXS 5.5X22X56 is a GREAT spotting scope.

I had a Celestron C90 which I think is pretty close to he C5. It is HUGE. I got tired of draggin it around. The 2575 is a shrunkin down version.
