spotting scopes and iphone cases

[Shawn Westling]

Need some advice on some spotting scopes to reach out to 500 to 1000 yards for around $500.00 if such thing exists, also has anyone bought the iphone case from i think its KAC. Its the case they show mounted to the side of a rifle.

Thanks

I use a Bushnell Legend, good optics at a decent price. Big and heavy had to get a good tripod to hold it steady, check it out.

Could be wrong but if I remember correctly the iPhone case pictured on Knights page was an Otterbox. The Defender case is a popular model and provides excellent protection.

Don't know anything about the iPhone case, but if you are shooting paper, no spotting scope is going to be strong enough to see bullet holes at 500 to 1000 yards. When I shoot 600 yards, we use people in the pits to mark the targets to tell you where the hits are.

A decent spotting scope, combined with shoot n c targets should allow you to easily spot hits at 500 yards.

I dont know about 1000 yards as that would be dictated by the weather.

Anyway, in regards to spotting scope brands... I like the Kowa spotters.

Yes and no. IF there is no signfiicant mirage, and you have a good scope, good eyes, and not shooting holes that are grouped closed together, maybe, but.....definately YMMV.
