A good scope for bullseye pistol - Hawke Sport Optics Nature Trek 9-27x56mm Spotting Scope

My old Busnell pistol box scope was getting a bit tired - and broken. So, I had been looking for a replacement when I saw the Hawke 9-27X scope on sale. Reading a few of the reviews by Bullseye pistol shooters who rated it well was good enough for me. I ordered it. I find it difficult to read the Specs on something like a spotting scope and know what it will actually look and feel like. This scope is very compact and will fit my pistol box. The 45 deg eye piece is a great feature. With it's variable power range I should be to pick up .22 bullet holes at 50 yds. At 1 lb 4 oz it is not light. That being said, the weight gives me confidence it is a well made scope and will last the rest of my pistol days.

I've got a match over Memorial Day weekend and will give it a good test. I'll add to this review if I find some features that I particularly like or don't like.
