What does the 'peep hole' on the side of a spotter scope do?? And what is it used for?? ,

Thank you

It is an alignment device. You find the object you want to view in the "peep hole" and it should then also be in the field of view of the spotting scope itself.

Okay thank you, is there any advantage using the peep hole to just looking through the scope itself, because you can zoom out if you want to see a larger field of view??

Well, yes. It is easier to aim the scope via the peep sight because you are not only just looking down through the peep hole but also along the entire shaft of the scope itself. Your field of view notably wider initially as you aim the scope and then use the peep to get much more specific as to your intended target.

Okay thank you for your help Frank, much appreciated
