Questions & Answers

A grade was given to me. My target score is 308 and I'm wondering how far I can see hits on a targer if I am at that distance?

I think your reliable range would be able to see it. It is about 200 yards to fire a 308 round. The distance at 100 yards is known to me. It is barely visible to me when it comes to the 223 round I prefer the larger one. I think a guy with 20/20 vision should be visible at 200 yards when firing a 308 round. I would recommend getting a better scope -- like an 80x or better -- if you're a long range shooter.

Would such a trip be useful for scouting purposes?

Sorry, it's probably too late for me to respond, but I'm not on Amazon often enough to see everything that's available. Although it is not a camera like the Nikon D800, it is durable and adjusted for zoom/focus easily enough, so it could be used to scout a new area. On the down side, it doesn't have an eyepiece at a 90-degree It is either necessary to use a compact tripod that is tall, to place the scope on a high rock or table, or to be prone. While holding a scope, it's very hard to prevent it from shaking.

How do you determine if it has Would you like to thank Tom for that?

You've got a doppler! It's unusual for a spotting scope to have such a large field of view.

This scope works well for watching airplanes at a high altitude, but how does it work for watching smaller planes?

If mounted on a tripod that is different, it would be best. If you try to focus on the object you will not be able to hold it steady, because the magnification will make it hard for you to do so

It's OK to move forward
3/5

This is not a target scope. If you are planning to look at a sphere in the sky that is well lit, this telescope is good for the price. It's for sighting in rifles at 100 yards and I bought it specifically for that purpose. Bullet holes cannot be seen on the target because you cannot see the target clearly. A 56 or a With an attractive little bag to keep it in while you're out. A great little bag is perfect for carrying the scope, but its scope doesn't fit in the I cannot fit a telescope in there, and I would be unable to carry a portable tripod as well. It is also a different scope for the instruction booklet. The fact that it's wrong in seven different languages is at least something. As long as the bird is within 50 yards, you can probably use an ordinary scope to observe it. It's time for me to return this.

A USA50 rifle target can be easily scored by seeing holes in it
4/5

A primary function of the department is to My shooting range is 50 feet indoors

I shoot at 50 feet. It does focus perfectly on a target when fired from 50 feet indoors using the 22LR. A USA50 rifle target can be easily scored by seeing holes in it. Using zoomed out perspective, you will be able to see two targets side by side, and you will be able to score if you can see the holes clearly. If it worked for 10m air rifle targets, I would fully expect it to too. I would imagine that those are cheap scopes, then. The construction of the ship is mostly made of I felt as though the threads of the scope mount were plastic when I screwed it in. The quality control in that aspect is about what you'd expect from a $30 scope, it's not sure if over molding is a problem or not. The bottom line It performs the function for which I bought it. I hope to be able to use it for a few years.

When you pay for something, you get what you paid It didn't seem that worth it to drop several hundred dollars on something I'd only use occasionally, so I decided to take a gamble on an affordable spotting scope
3/5

Overall, the finish on this watch is excellent, the carrying case is convenient, and it has a nice range of adjustment. There's not much else to say. I'm not a fan of the knobs. They feel cheap and seem like they'll break at any moment. There is only minimal adherence between the lens covers, and half the time the lenses fall off while I made a joke out of the tripod. All of that can easily be excused, however. My only objection to this device is the picture quality is terrible and I would rather stay away from it. There has never been a time when I became close to getting a clear image, no matter how many times I cleaned, fiddled or adjusted. This is like milk poured inside the inside of the shell. Rather than being cheap, I should have saved the money and thrown in a few bucks extra. EDITOR'S NOTE I would like to know why this review was hidden by the sensitivity filter? The review does not contain any offensive statements, but an honest review of the product. Don't waste your money on it. I am disappointed.

The only thing it would be is a good toy
3/5

In my early attempts to sight in at 200 yards, I turned on my spotting scope. Paper targets were not as responsive as DayGo reactive The scope was so wide that I could not focus on the targets to even group them on the screen. Normally, I range within 1 MOA. There is a Crossfire II 4 in my possession IELTS test results as a result of 16x- A 50mm lens. With my optic at 16x, I was able to catch this grain of wheat better than I was able to 16x picture also seemed closer to the real one. As long as your eye is on the eye relief, the view within the objective lens is not clear sub 100 yards (i. e. , you wouldn't pass an eye exam with the largest letter, since it is not clear enough to require the eye to be on the eye relief). The 40x (or lower) setting, stabilized by a tripod, did not allow me to identify hits on the reactive paper targets at 200 yards. There is the possibility that I was just limited by my scope. People have used this scope to sight in on paper targets in reviews of the scope. You can order via Amazon and visit a store This product was actually sold to me by a sporting goods employee who spoke to me about how uneasy I was about spending another 400 dollars The cost of another optic is 600 dollars. My plans are likely to be to spend 400 or more The optic has a 600 x magnification. There was nothing good about this. If I had to buy it, I would buy it for a little kid who just wants to have a good time, but it wouldn't be useful for actual work. Honestly, I did not expect it to be of high quality, but neither was the fact that the focus was less than 200 yards. I found it even more frustrating not to be able to see a spot as part of a reactive target.

However, it does not work
3/5

I guess it's an okay price for what you get, but it's not exactly expensive. A real steal so cheap that I as soon as I started using it the eye piece came apart. As I was adjusting the zoom, a piece of the eye piece came off, so I unscrewed the collar piece to see if it had broken* I was surprised that it did not break, but it was poorly glued together. It doesn't make sense to me as a screw or a permanent solution would make it more robust, but no, they used glue, poor design, and poor quality control. In any case, epoxy fixed it, but if you buy one, be careful they're flimsy, so bring them to the range when you shoot. You can follow up on this later. It's really awful even at max magnification it's hard to see even when in focus no matter how you adjust it, it's still blurry With a decent tripod, even when mounted on a trashy one the camera still won't get a quality picture as long as the lens of the camera is lousy.
