Guys, I need to do some 100 yard work with an AK47 and a Mini14. At present, all I have is a set of binoculars. Please help me decide what power scope I need as well as brand and model?

I appreciate your help.

You need to state your budget first. Anything will do at that range.

I have the NF straight.

If you are trying to find a decent spotting scope without breaking the bank, Konus makes a decent spotting scope. A Konus 20-60x80mm scope will run you about $230. I use mine for spotting targets at 25 yards when developing handgun loads and can see .30 caliber holes at 300 yards when the lighting conditions are good.

Konuspot 80 is $189 from B&H with free shipping. Very reliable place to order from, been buying camera gear for decades there.

It's a very popular highpower spotting scope.

That's a good deal. I paid $200 shipped for mine several years ago.

what's your budget. buy once cry once. go big or go home. Swarovski or for the money Vortex is decent. tough to beat the Swarovski
