It will be tough to see those 6mm holes at long distance. Has anyone tried using one?
even with the newer high end spotting scopes bullet holes in black portions of the target are tough.
holes in white sections are much easier. as for the fluorite coatings over regular coatings they wont help either.
fact is on a side by side comparison you wouldnt see any difference under normal conditions. some of the older
spotting scopes such as the bausch&lomb balscope with a "good eyepiece" will still do an excellant job for you.
by and large the zoom eyepieces wont give the clarity of a good fixed power. unfortunatly thats what most
scope companies are using today.
