Having different eyepiece options is one of the advantages of going with the premier brands. Less expensive spotting scopes do not usually give you the option of changing eyepieces. Typically, you're stuck with what comes with the scope.
The Kowa 20-60 zoom is expensive, yes, but consider that a premium zoom eyepiece like this stays sharp all the way up to 60x in a Kowa spotting scope and even at 60x, you can use it while wearing glasses. There are actually more lens elements in a premium zoom eyepiece like this than there are in an entire cheap spotting scope. And if you think Kowa is expensive, try pricing Swarovski and Leica spotting scopes.
Without even looking I'm thinking that next leap would be more than what I would want to pay and very likely very nice but probably more than what I would need as well.
if you don't mind do you think at 100 yrds the TSN-601 with the TE-9Z Eyepiece or 20X60 would be sufficient for spotting 22 LR holes? About how far out do you think that might work?
Someone elsewhere recomended the following tripod, http://gearbuggy.com/. For now without having a clue what all is out there I am thinking this might work.
Thanks,
