Woodlander Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 I have an old Swarovski AT80 telescope with the 30x WA lens. I’m looking to get a zoom lens, for spotting shots on paper and wondering at say 60x, what distance would that enable 6mm bullet holes to be seen. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks It depends a lot on the weather and your own eye sight. Regards JCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodlander Posted November 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Light conditions usually dull and overcast, eyesight not great. Which brings me to another question about shooting with specs. Are normal specs suitable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Also depends on target and background behind the target. Ballpark at 60-70x 300m on black paper targets. 550m on white paper targets. 1km + on white steel targets. These are what I’ve been able to achieve more often than not. Weather can make it a bit better or a lot worse. Sometimes you can be better off at 30x. I wear normal contact lenses for shooting, bit of a pain to read the turret clicks.
