Love my Vortex Razor HD - alot of scope for the money. No matter what you spend, seeing bullet holes at 300 yds + will depend alot on conditions - mirage, etc. Whichever brand you go with, getting a model with HD glass is worth the money.

Re: Looking fo a good spotting scope
There are many options available for your needs. Along with all these options is a WIDE range of prices from a couple of hundred dollars to a couple of thousand. What price range would you like to stay in?

Prefer to cry once ;-)
I have heard a lot of good about the Vortex Razor (btw...this is my current scope on my rifle ) and the Kowa

I did not see a price range, check out a spotter 60 from Hensoldt, best piece of glass i have ever look at.

Zeiss or Swaro, you won't regret it. Depending on just how much you wish to cry the Hensoldt spotter 60 is REALLLLY nice.

Re: Looking fo a good spotting scope
i like the adjustment on the swarovski spotting scopes. go with an 80mm scope or better, they tend to be much easier to get behind. personally i use an angled scope. plus swarovski spotters are on sale at the moment.

Re: Looking fo a good spotting scope
Depending on your eyes and the quality of glass, you are not likely to see holes on paper much past 3-400 yards.
There is a solution however, do a search here as there are several threads on using wireless camera systems to view long distance impacts. I'm using this info to build my system right now.

Re: Looking fo a good spotting scope
Has anyone tried the ZEN-RAY ED2 spotting scope?
http://swfa.com/Zen-Ray-20-60x82-ZEN-ED2-Spotting-Scope-P48008.aspx
do they compare to the Vortex Razor?

Re: Looking fo a good spotting scope
I would recommend a Spotter 60, but thats just me. I have seen holes in paper out to 600 yds when need be.

Re: Looking fo a good spotting scope
I think you would be more than happy with the Razor 85HD. I can honestly say that I have ever heard of anyone being unhappy with them and generally I hear just the opposite. Most describe as being an Alpha spotter at a mid range cost. Obviously my comments may be a little bias ,so my suggestion would be to buy one from one of the Hide vendor's and if for some reason you are not pleased with it we will do what ever it takes to make you happy.
