I think I need to get a pair of binoculars for the next time I go to the local rifle range, so I can more easily check my accuracy without having to wait until firing stops and run back and forth.

Good quality for a good price, variable maginification would be a plus. I’d like to spend no more then $100 if I can, but I can go a little higher.

Or should I just spring for a spotting scope? If so, reccomend one of those.
