Doing a little math here and I realize a 16x50 power Nikon Extreme Action bino will make a 200 yard target look like it is 37.5 feet away. A Leupold 20-60x80 SX-1 Ventana Spotting scope costs 2.3 times as much money, but theoretically at max zoom that same 200 yard target will appear to be ten feet away, so I should be able to clearly see bullet holes very easily.
I do not hunt, but I realize a good bino or spotting scope would be smart to include in a bugout bag - also good for nature walks and sports events.
Which would you choose if the primary purpose is for a range where you need to see targets 600 feet distant and eventually maybe even targets at 900 and 1,200 feet? Binoculars or spotting scope? And do you have a favorite brand other than Nikon or Leupold? Price?
