Ok, my 1st world problem is as follows - mainly to keep from driving to CMP in Talladega when I have a range 15 minutes from house. I need a spotter to sight in and re-zero a few optics. Range here is from 100 -375 yards. Not really interested in the "camera" approach.
Question is for sighting in say at 200 yds (or even 50) can I get away with a fairly cheap spotter (like < $300)? My goal by the end of the year or early next year is a mid-range set of 15x50 Binoculars like the BX-5, Forge, Cronus or stretch goal the Steiner MX; then acquire a Leica 2800.com (or something along those lines). I burned my money on scopes late last year and this year so would like to put those to use. The immediate need is get stuff sighted in.
Or would I be smarter to just jump on the Cronus that Doug has on sale right now and not look back, acquire Tripod/mounts, etc. Is 15x50 going to be able to let me see holes well enough? My guess is not at 200 yards. Sorry, no feel for this one. I know...I should be booted from the hide for asking stupid questions .
Thanks, and go easy...
