I did a search and couldn't find an answer to my questions. I'm fully aware that you get what you pay for, but my needs are relatively simple for now, so I don't want to spend big money on a good spotting scope at this time.
I'm looking for a spotting scope in the less than $300 price range, including tripod. I shoot .22lr out to 100 yards and .223 out to 200 yards, mostly from a bench or prone. I would like to see the holes in the target.
Conditions I shoot in range from clear and bright summer afternoons with temps near 100* to hazy, cloudy winter mornings with temps near 40*. Targets are usually bright colors, but I also shoot on dark targets.
I do not need compactness but it should be small enough to fit on a shooting bench with ammo and rifle and a few other miscellaneous items such as drink and notepad.
Spotting scopes that I have seen recommended are the Konus Konuspot, Celestron Ultra and MAK90, and Redfield Rampage. Can anyone give me their experience with these scopes and type of conditions (weather and light) they shoot in and what type of targets they were shooting at? I'm open to other recommendations if you can tell me about your experience with the scope.
My work and family schedule do not allow me the time to get serious about shooting further than 200 yards and that is unlikely to change in the next couple of years, so I have plenty of time to save up for a better scope for when I need 1. Durability is also a concern since I don't plan on upgrading for several years.
