Not better than a riflescope - Bushnell Legend T-Series 15-45x60mm Spotting Scope

I purchased this spotting scope for spotting targets at 300 yards. Out of the box, the unit appeared to be well made and provided for crisp clear images. However, when I brought it to the range and was using it to spot .30 cal holes at 300 yards, I could make out the holes better with my 21x riflescope. When using the spotting scope side-by-side with my 21x riflescope, the image in the spotting scope, set at 45x, did not appear to be much more magnified than the riflescope. At best, the image in the spotting scope seemed 10% larger.

Further, upon returning this and the tripod purchased with it to Optics Planet, they only refunded 88% of the purchase price.
