I was looking through my low-end Leupold Green Ring spotting scope tonight at the moon...
I got to thinking, "how far can one see a bullet hole with a really good spotting scope?"
So that's the question I guess, how much farther does a high end spotting scope allow you to see a bullet hole in a target?
I was watching a program on the history channel where a couple of snipers where demonstrating shooting at 1000 yards, and I was getting the impression he could see the bullet hole because he would say things like, "for the next shot, give me a 1/2 minute high..." etc.
I've never looked through a high-end spotting scope, so I just don't know if it's possible to see that far clearly. It seems like it would be hazy at best because of all the "atmosphere" you would have to look through.
