    I am looking to buy a spotting scope to use at the gun range. I would be using mostly at 100 yards but might "attempt" to use it at 200 yards. It won't get a ton of use and it doesn't need to be the greatest scope out there. I just need something that is capable of doing the job.


    I was looking at this Barska

    Amazon.com: BARSKA Blackhawk 20-60x60 Waterproof Straight Spotting Scope w/ Tripod, Soft Carry Case & Premium Hard Case: Sports & Outdoors


    It gets good reviews and is under a $100.


    Any suggestions or comments at ones I should be looking at. Or features that are must have?

    I have that exact one....it serves its purpose for the range quite well...I also use it at our lake house looking across the lake into the fields for deer.....if you are just planning on using it at the range it will be more than acceptable for the price

    Thanks. Can you see a bullet hole at 200 yards with it?

    With some shoot n c targets I would say no problem.....probably a little tougher with plain paper targets but I still think you could....I have no issues at 100 yards with any target but havent used it further out yet
