Elwood Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 This is for F class, all I need it for is to see spotting discs and scoring paddles at 1000 yards. By budget I mean £150 or less, or am I just wasting money at that price? Any reccomendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By budget I mean £150 or less, or am I just wasting money at that price? Any reccomendations? I'd suggest that <£150 is likely to be a waste of money.

Elwood Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 BD, it's to spot my fellow competitors mishaps, I like to grin and chuckle quietly when they score 2's and 3's, it makes me feel superior (Snide comments on my Bisley long range shoot will be met with a small ban, not you BD, that would just be foolish) But honestly it's so that I can view the other target boards to see how the wind is effecting them, also it can be set up to see the mirage at mid range, once I have my rifle scope set up I don't want to move it.

Hasn't stopped you before! Yup, understand your requirement - I'd recommend blowing cash on one of the Leupold Mk4 spotters - lovely light and compact, fast 'into and out of action'; clarity unlike any other Leupold product (easily the equal of my Swaro 30x75CTC at 30 power). I think anything less would just annoy you in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian, I know it might be hard to find even more cash but to be honest I think you need to spend more than that! how about a yummy swaro! I seen some leupold ones but didn't like them, do sightron make one?, I bet it would be pretty good for the money from what I see on the scopes Matt, the leupold spotter your on about, is that the only one they make,, the one I seen was about as useful as toys R us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can see the spotting disks and paddles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I've said it before - Brian Fox's Nikula spotting scopes are every bit as good as my Kowa for a fraction of the price. Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Thanks so far, Vince I will check them out, totally forgot about Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyR Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I have a Leupold Sequoia 20-60mm angled spotting scope, in excellent condition with cover and box that you can have for £150 posted. Only fault is the eyepiece cover is cracked, still works though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Vince, would Brian let us have a look at one on the range at the next league shoot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Elwood, I went thru' this a while back when sroting spotters out for our club. Simple and robust - bit like women (Matt not a word to Claire! ) The Opticron units will do what you want and a fixed magninification eye piece of 25-27x will show your target and those either side to allow the wind tracking you talk about. Been in use with a pile of new shooters, also been dowsed on more than one occasion and still functioning. NSRA shops has them if you want to look: http://www.nsrashop.co.uk/acatalog/Telescopes___Eyepieces.html Terry PS Spotter 60's are nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
