Greetings George, Thank you for the comment! Unfortunately, you may not be able to see the paper target holes at that distance due to interfering mirage. We have a great article on it with more information that can be found here: www.opticsplanet.com/howto/how-to-choose-a-spotting-scope-for-target-shooting-spotting-scope-yardage.html If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us!

OpticsPlanet . What is that smaller scope you showed? 11-35.

The scope at 3:42 is a Bushnell Straight 10. Unfortunately, it has been discontinued and is no longer available.

Hi David, I would probably go with one of the following: Nikon Prostaff 5 16-48x60 www.opticsplanet.com/nikon-prostaff-5-16-48x60mm-zoom-spotting-scopes.html Celestron 16-48x65 www.opticsplanet.com/celestron-regal-m2-65ed-spotting-scope.html Vanguard 15-45x65 www.opticsplanet.com/vanguard-vanguard-endeavor-hd-65a-spotting-scope-angled.html If it is just for hunting, probably the Celestron or Vanguard…the Nikon has some features for Digiscoping that you may never use, so it might be better to go with the extra 5mm of objective lens. Hope this helps! Thanks for the comment.

Hi Enrique General rule in optics is, you get the best quality glass depending on how much money you invest. The Razor is better glass and better coatings, that is why it is more money. It sounds like to me that the majority of your intended viewing is of moderate sized targets, so the extra magnification isn’t significant. But the larger objective size of the Viper is something to consider, especially for planetary viewing. Still, I would go for the higher quality glass/coatings in the Razor model! Hope this helps! And thanks for the comment.

Thanks for your honest comment. You certainly make earth a better place take care amigo.

I think that was an Eyeskey 20x60x80

It's a Nikon ED50

Hi Skip, Several factors play into selecting a spotting scope. Besides the intended viewing range, which you provided, we like to take into account things like the intended activity (benchrest, hunting, etc), intended target size, typical viewing time (dawn/dusk, prime conditions, etc), budget, etc. So if you would send us an email, techsales@opticsplanet.com, with as much of that information that you can provide we would be happy to suggest a few models for you to consider. Thanks for the comment!

Hi Richard, Thanks for the comment! We think you make a great point - the coatings and type of glass a spotting scope has are very important in regards to the quality of the unit. Lens coating improve light transmission, which is important in a high magnification instrument such as a spotting scope. In order of increasing quality and performance, you will find "fully coated" , then "multi-coated", then "fully multi-coated". All premium grade models are fully multi-coated, often with special chemical formulas that vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. In regards to glass, most optical prisms are made from borosilicate (BK-7) glass or barium crown (BAK-4) glass. BAK-4 is higher quality glass yielding brighter images and high edge sharpness. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our Product Experts by email at techsales@opticsplanet.com and we will be happy to help!

Hi Enrique, Spotting scopes might be specifically designed for use observing landbound or airborn subjects during the day, but the design of the glass is basically the same as a refractor telescope for astronomical viewing. There is no real reason why a spotting scope cannot be used for stargazing and basic astronomy, as long as you take some considerations into mind: - Eyepiece angle; Actual astronomy telescopes have a better angle eyepiece to make viewing more comfortable, while spotting scopes are mostly in a 45degree angle, which means you need to put it on a very tall tripod, or very close to the ground. - Pick a good objective size for light gathering; of at least 65mm, but preferably 70mm, is fairly effective for basic astronomical use. Hope this helps! Thanks for the comment.

Thank you sir for your help and fast response.

How many hunters do you know?

He says, while munching on a mcd burger, slaughtered at a cattle massacre.

Why do people hate hunters? Most are for feeding themselves family and friends prolly less than %10 trophy hunt and dont take anything else. You should hate corporations who shovel heards close together and slaughter them. We hunters are respecting the animals while still using them to nourish our bodies as GOD intended.
