Old eyes just might prefer 12x50 binoculars!

I concur with Steve. A few years back I discovered a pair of Nikon that are 16x50. They work well for spotting on our targets and fair for large holes in paper out to around 50m. If you want to pick out .22 holes at 100m on paper you'll have to go to a true spotting scope. The binocs are easy to pack and store and they have a tab for use with a tripod if you need it. rp

thanks but looking for something to pick up holes in paper @200m more than seeing hits on steel
my Son like to shoot paper @ 200

thanks Robert I had seen that but Santa said I ant been no were that good

Never mind my favorite Region II Directer has done hooked me up (I'm mean Santa)

glad i could help you spend your $ richard !! i looked a lot but finally found you a deal. hope you enjoy the new scope. allen
