Never used a spotting scope?

[GAgunLAWbooklet]

From what I see on various public shooting ranges very few people use a spotting scope.
More people should try it.
It great to be able to see your bullet holes without having to call a cease fire and walk downrange.

Now, if you are shooting a rifle with a powerful (15X or more magnification) and big-lensed rifle scope, maybe that will fill the role of a spotting scope for you.

But even a cheap spotting scope is better than an ordinary deer rifle hunting scope forcseeing holes in paper.

Here’s a spotting scope for sale at Harbor Freight for $39.
I’ve looked thru one of these, and it’s OK for an entry level scope that should be able to show your bullet holes at 100 or 200 yards.

Have it shipped to your door for just under $47.00

I've been wanting to get one, but not sure I'd buy one from harbor freight though.

Well I'd hate to lose $47.00, but It wouldn't be the end of the world if the scope was a POS.

I'll bet it'll do for a couple of hundred yards, as most regular folks shoot to sight their rifle in.

Spotting scope is the only way to go on a 100+ yard range, buy the best you can afford it will serve you well for many years.

Maybe won't break the bank or be the end of the world, but in my experience a lot of the stuff from harbor freight has been junk and not worth the time or money to acquire.

I'm not suggesting you remove the lenses and use the tube,
mounted on that cool folding tripod, to launch 60 mm rockets
with exploding warheads at ATF headquarters.
Really, I'm not, Woodstock.

But there IS a certain visual similarity here...

Harbor Freight has these on the shelves.

If you’ve never used a spotting scope and are used to
walking 50 or 100 or 200 yards to check your targets....

Try one.
