I just bought a S&W 629 for handgun hunting and my first 100 yard practice session involved a lot of walking to and from the target... I need a spotting scope.
I'd like to buy a good spotting scope without blowing a lot of cash by buying the wrong one first. I see lots of Barska spotting scopes for sale on Craigslist so I'm assuming they're NOT what anyone needs. I've been a fan of anything Nikon since the 1970's but the sales guy at Wholesale Sports insists there is more bang for the buck in a Vortex spotting scope.
So,,, for 50 - 200 yard use, what do I need for magnification? Are there any 'features' available which I'll regret if I do or do not spend a little extra money one? What do you recommend for my use?
BTW - before someone asks for a pic of the new {to me} revolver, here it is:
