Meade Condor Spotting Scope for Viewing 100 Yard Groups
I used an inexpensive Meade Condor spotting scope for viewing 100 yard groups yesterday. It worked just fine. The glass was plenty clear and all bullet holes were easily seen. You don't have to spend a lot of money for optics that let you see where your shots went at 100 yards. Keep in mind that lower power is easier to use than high in most cases because of mirage and steadiness. I used it mostly in the middle of its 20-60 power range. It was an extra scope I picked up so a guest had something to use when I was using my main spotter. The aluminum case and soft case were nice extras, and the tripod functioned as needed. All told, a good value in a scope for this application.
