300 yd clear view of targets - Konus Konuspot 20-60x100 Spotting Scope

I specifically bought this to look at 300 yd targets. You will do better with the shoot-n-c targets, but the resolution is clear and focus acceptable to see clearly at this distance. Note - the scope is very front heavy - It has a center of gravity about 4 inches forward of the mount point, so you either have to get a very heavy and sturdy tripod or get some sort of adapter balance mount. So I made a custom tripod base adapter about 4 inches long out of 1/8 inch thick steel bar flat stock to better balance the mount at the center of gravity.The rear of the bar has two 1/4 inch diameter holes and mounts to the scope base using 1/4 inch by 3/4 inch long bolts, the forward part of the bar with a drilled and tapped 1/4 inch hole mounts to the tripod base. Now it is easy to balance, adjust and lock on target.
