I doubt you will see .223 holes at 300m with a £350 spotting scope ? sadly I think you will have to spend a good bit more to get the clarity you need.

Always the same advice - buy a Kowa if you can afford it - if not, buy the Chinese equivalent - a Nikula - from Brian Fox. £265 in a (Chinese) Peli case! Excellent scope - couldn't split it from my Kowa!

this will do what you want .......but also you need a good tripod to take advantage of the optic.

It shouldn't be a problem seeing .223 holes with a scope with an objective lens of 100mm at 300. It's brightness that allows you to see rather than a high magnification.

 

However I would question the optical quality of the scope over say 40x power; this is common in most scopes except the top end ones like Leica, Zeiss and Swarovski.

Hi-Coolforgot,

 

I have a brill spotting scope that I have not been using-it's a Kowa TSN TSN 821- I have never seen anything better than this one.

 

It has the 20 to 60 power magnification eye-piece and an 80mm objective.

 

It is in mint condition-it has spent all of it's life in a Skua padded cover which would come with it

 

If you are interested, send me your e-mail addy and I will send you some piccies

 

Best regards

I can see 223 & 243 holes clearly at 300yards with nothing more than a Hawke Endurance with a 68mm objective.
