Does anyone use a small telescope or is the highest mag for a spotter still 60X?

Sounds like a ton of fun. I never liked having too many rules, though. That's why I don't travel to those kind of competitions. We have a lot of good fun shooting at our local range with quite relaxed shooting rules.

Whig - if you download the rule books from CMP and NRA, many of your questions can be answered, like target dimensions -

800, 900, and 1000 Yard Target
NRA No. LR -
Aiming Black (inches) Rings in White (inches)
X ring ....... 10.00
10 ring....... 20.00
9 ring........ 30.00
8 ring........ 44.00
7 ring.......... 60.00
6 area . . . 72x72 square

Thanks for the info about the rule book. I'll look at that.

Still would like to know others' opinions and experience with the scopes?

I searched for a different eyepiece for my Bushnell Elite 60X spotting scope and called the company but no where have I found any stronger eyepiece to use that would increase the power of the scope. I have a small telescope but need to get an inverting objective to flip the image.

Just wondering what others do at extreme ranges like 1000 yards plus. I have a March Optics 8 x 80 scope on my long range Robar SR90 .308 rifle. That's more mag than my spotting scope.

Thanks for that. I was guestimating on memory... but I was close (forgot that the dimensions were in the rule book). Still, 6 foot square is awful small at over half a mile, LOL!
