    Default Budget spotting scope.

    I don’t have a lot of money to spend. Looking for under $100 and angled. Just target shooting.
    Any recommendations w/ experience ?

    Got my cheapo at Big 5, not angled though. Wish I could afford a good one. But at least I have one. Barska, I think it is. Works OK, just could be better.

    Check out pawn shops. If something looks promising, do a quick amazon/ebay/google search of the model

    What distance and what size of object do you want to be able to see . 100$ spotter 9 out 10 times you are better off saving the money and walking to the target .

    Have seen people with cheap spotters that could not resolve 30 cal bullets holes at 100 yards .

    I know it’s going to be a pos. Doesn’t have to be angled , and Ward I know exactly what you’re saying lol.
    I’ll prob just wait and try and get something a little better. My pops probably still has his cheapie and dosnt use it , maybe he’ll give it to me.

    I got this:
    https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B010FAUJ46

    Chinese made cheapy, but it does the job at 100 yards, can clearly make out .224 bullet holes (haven't tried it further). I used it in blu-cor's 100 yard range, which is not very well lit, and it worked fine, even used it with a cell phone adapter to take a video and can watch the shots hit the paper.

    What's the eye relief on it. Have a cheap one now and the eye relief suck. Have to practically have my eye on the lens.
