Does anyone have any experience with these Spotting scopes?

I am looking at this one on fleabay, which is a 25x75x75 and comes with the tripod:

When shooting 30.cal and higher I have no problems locating shot placement, but when practicing with .22 at 100 yards I just cannot make out where they're at on paper.
Hoping that a spotting scope like this one will save me alot of walking.

Looks like the one on sale in Sportsmans Guide. You might check to see if you can get a better price.

I have and use the Barska 20-60X-60. It came with tri-pod, soft case and hard case for 100$. It has been as good as any I have used until you get into the higher end spotting scopes.

I have one like the one in the pic. They work well for the price. However I paid under 80 dollars for mine on Overstock a while back. The price listed on the one on the link is pretty high. At least to my cheap butt

think i paid 70-80 as well.

they are not too clear. but more than clear enough to see 30 cal holes at 300yd. id immagine 22 cal at 300 would be easy as well. thats all i need from it.

frrankly, yes, a 400-800 dollar spotting scope may look as clear as if your sitting next to teh target, and are MUCH MUCH, MUCH better. but, the way i see it, this one gets the job done, and i can do a lot better things with that other $320-$720

No doubt there... that's alot of extra shooting with the savings (now I just need to convince the mrs. of that logic! :D ) Right, as long as I can tell where they're hitting is really all I am interested in

I agree with the above replies. I have a 20-60x Barska spotting scope and it works just fine. Not the clearest at higher powers, but it serves my purpose.
