I'm at a crossroad and would really like some experienced advice.
I NEED, well OK want, a spotter that will see bullet placement at long yardage. I understand the atmospheric limitations but the options are many to maximize what I can see.
I have read a great deal of material, much over my head but have gleaned several ideas that make sense to me.
I would like a fairly long exit pupil, and have a large objective that can focus down to roughly my daylight pupil size, in other words use the whole objective, or at least maximize the use.
That's just starters-
Do bigeyes help significantly? People combine two 60-100mm spotters into bigeyes routinely but how much better is it really?
How about the bino add ons to regular spotters?
I understand that the eyepiece is the most important part of this assembly, which objective would you attach a Pentax or Swaro EP to?
I'm sorry for all the questions, certainly I'm not the first to assemble parts to get a high performance spotter, so what have you put together?
Weight and size are of secondary importance, for me the visual is most critical.
Hope somebody is up for helping,
Thanks,
Ross
