Could you please suggest a good spotting scope for 50m rifle shooting. Budget $200.

Thanks

For that kind of money, Baraska is decent. Or a used Simmons.
Lurk around on ebay you might get lucky and score a leupold. :cheers:

Keep in mind, you will need at least a 40x.

Hello
If you visit the Worli Range, ask for Vishwajeet Shinde or Nilesh Rane, they will help you in getting a scope within your budget.

I have a Baraska scope on a rimfire. It is cheap, not the greatest quality or clarity as far as optics go. However I have no issues with it, and it is difficult to beat for the price.
I guess their spotting scopes are pretty much the same.
IMHO 125x is a bit much for 50 m.
