I'm into shooting long range because it's fun. Well, long range as far as I can get out at the local ranges which is 300m. However, there was always a rub that being there was always someone else on the range. If I wanted to check my target I'd have to wait for 3-5 other people to stop shooting to check my groups, then adjust then have to wait yet again. Turned a simple sight in into a boring choir walking back and forth.
Now, I final broke down and bought a spotting scope. For the $170 I got the Burris High Country spotting scope that came with a protective canvas cover, a tripod and lens covers. The scope is appointed with a focus dial on the top and the 20-60x zoom is adjusted by the eye piece. I wasn't expecting much by way of clarity or light transmission. Well, I was wrong.
This scope has excellent light transmission and the focus really brings out the clarity. I had no issues focusing on my 22 caliber holes from 36 to 300 yds. My range day was much easier this last trip, I set up my stands with 4 targets and set one up at 36 yds, 100 yds and 300 yds. I didn't need to wait on anyone to check my targets. Just a slight gangster lean and I could observe my perforated targets.
The tripod was solid and easy to adjust. The tripod attached via a single screw and is easy to install and remove. I'm just leaving it tighten down and on there scope. The adjustments are easy and done with a single lever that is turned until the tripod is slightly loose, make your adjustments and then tighten it back up.
The front lens cover is a non-removable flap type and the rear is a hard plastic screw on. The rear zoom adjustment is easy to move as is the focus. While the light transmission isn't as good as a Leupold or higher priced optics it's more than adequate for observing target stands.
I can't find any faults with this scope and I'll continue to use it for it's intended purpose. If I break it, I'll update this thread however since it's not going to be subject to abuse, I doubt that any thing is going to happen to it.
