I am looking to get a good spotting scope for target shooting. My problem is that I have poor eyesight and wear glasses. I have looked through some of the cheaper spotting scopes at the range and cannot see 22 holes through them at 50 yards, heck, even have trouble at 25 yards with 22.

I would like to be able to see at up to 100 yards. I also struggle with getting close enough to the eyepiece as I wear heavy glasses. What would you recommend?

Thanks

Hi

Look for a scope with long eye relief - at least 15mm, though more is better. A good choice would be the Bushnell Legend 20-60x60 with 21mm
