Can anyone tell me how this scope will perform as a long range 1000yd spotting scope?

Depends on what you are rtying to see. With this scope racked out to 66x at 1000yds you will be viewing your target as though you were approximately 50-55ft from it. Whether or not you can see your bullet holes depends on the available light and the contrast between the hole and the target. Viewing a black hole on black target face is tough at 50 feet. Use a splatter target and you have a chance.

I bought it so I can spot my 1000 yard shots with a .50 BMG. It works pretty well for that, though you definitely are pushing the limits of the scope. With something big like a .50 and a target that has good contrast, it is usable. It's not a Swarovski; you're not going to get perfection at 1k yards.

This is a great scope but, I don't think that it would be good for anything farther than around 100 yards.I hope this helps you

I shot 2" groups at 100 yards. Have not stretched it out yet. At 100 yards the dot covered the 1" Orange bulls-eye. Rely on fundamentals and you should be spot on with this scope.

I use the scope for target shooting. Low power vey clear at 25 yards, but gets a little blurry as you increase power at that range. At 100 yards all powers are very clear for general sighting. Have't tried on small objects past 25 yards tho.

The images were unsatisfactory (muddy) for my long distance shots taken with a Canon 7D. The lens has aberrations. It should be ok for moon shots where sharp focus is not a priority. This is a cheap spotting scope not a camera lens. What you see with the naked eye may not be captured on the photo image. You are much better off using a camera lenses for your long distance photographs. I use a 200mm Canon lens and shoot on the highest quality setting for a larger image. This scope is fine for sighting targets at the shooting range or watching ships sail past, but it is not for photography.

I have only used the scope out to 100 yds. and I am satisfied, but I think it would be hard to see .223 holes at further distances.

I'm quite happy with the eye relief and the scope in general. It's a great product for the price. I have it mounted on a Weatherby Vanguard Sub-MOA in .223, which will easily put three holes in the 10 ring from 100 yards that you can cover with a nickel.

I think it has a pretty decent range. It's not like looking through a toilet paper roll. By no means is it a long range scope but it does a good job at shorter ranges.

Hi. So far so good and I shot about 100 shots with it. I have it on my Benjamin Genesis gas piston air rifle so the recoil isn't bad on it at all. But the scope over all seems very solid, much better then the CenterPoint scope I had originally.

Yes - but I try to use the targets that change colors at that distance. I have shot that distance with a 22.250 and saw it well! Good spotting Scope with out having to spend $1500.00.

I can see snowballs roll down the side of the mountains which are approximately 2 miles away with my Leupold. Hits on a target at 200 yards should be super clear/visible. You will need a tripod to keep the spotting scope from swaying.

Mine is mounted on a 308. I have not tried to acquire anything over 500 yds but it is very accurate to that distance. I is a great scope for the money.

Mine has done well for me. I`ve had no problems with it. Good scope for the money.

No, I used my scope on a Moisin Nagant using the rear sight base for the new mount. I shoot from 200 to 500 meters. the scope works wonderfully.As you know; most extended eye relief scopes were low power. Also it was like looking looking through a tube. I don't feel that way with this scope. I don't think I'd a scout set up to hunt with Too weird...rp

This scope claims to be16 power but I would say it's more like 10 power or lower. It's a good price for what it is but I wouldn't use it for a spotting scope at any distance.

It is a smaller scope by scale, lighter, and has less magnification. It is a very accurate optic considering the price paid &lt;$80 and I do not believe it meant for strictly close range. It's quite accurate even at 100yds considering the magnification.

This scope is best mounted on a 0 MOA rail. With is set up this scope will go form 100 yrd to 1120 yards with the turn of one dial. It took a while to get it set up and to understand and it works great. I took 3 other very experienced shooters to the range and they were hitting bull eyes with less than .5 moa at 200 yards with 3 shot groups shooting the rifle for the first time.. I take it to the 1000 yard range that has plates at 150, 250 300 500 750 and 1000 yards. This scope hit them all with a simple turn of the dial. Keep in mind it is not a long range target scope, but is intended to hit an 18" target all the time at any distance from 100 - 1120. This is designed to bracket and shoot at unknown distance. This is a very tall scope and I recommend a stock with cheek riser for final adjustment. The optics are clear and bright. Mine is mounted on a 700 in a Accuracy Int stock. The turrets will hold dope on up to 5 different bullet weight. I shoot 168 for long range hunting and 150 for targets. I would strongly recommend this scope for someone that does not want to spend time with dope calculators. There are many great youtube video to confirm and help you make a final choice.

This has 30x ~ 60x. It's great as a spotting scope at 30x, and I can imagine using it to view game at long ranges at the 30x setting, but that would be quite difficult . . . the field of view is much too small for the hunting I've done (30x is just too much magnification).
