Hi,

Have a Yukon 20x50x50 spotter at 2yrs or less old, want to replace it with alittle better spotter I am looking at the following:

Leupold
15x30x50 Gold Ring

15x45x60 Windriver

Bushnell Elite
15x45x60

Burris 20x60x80 Landmark

I am trying to get a spotter that has very good eye relief and can justify holes out to 300mtrs

Any help would be greatly as I don't know much about optics and after reading/searching I came up with the one's in my $$ reach

I second the motion for the Gold Ring or the Bushnell Elite
What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?

The gold ring is nice, but may be limited trying to view bullet holes at 300 meters with just 30X. Take a look at a Kowa 600 series with a 20-60 eye piece.

I would go with the Kowa. The Leupold spotter just doesn't compare, not like there scope..

 

   Kowa
