Hi all what i am looking for is a good spotting scope with an angled eye piece for use on the range,something that will let me see .22 rimfire holes at 100yds with stand if possible but not important,
Thanks for looking

.22 rimfire holes at 100 yards, you're not asking for much are you!
Buy the biggest objective lens model you can lay your hands on. I use a 22 x 60 for .22 rimfire at 25 yards and use up to 30x on same scope for seeing the spotting disc at up to 600.

The Opticron IS60 is a pretty good guide to the type of 'scope you want. You should be able to buy one with a reasonable zoom eyepiece for £250-300. Anything much cheaper will be be OK at 25yds, adequate at 50mtrs but will struggle to provide a clear image at 100yds. Worth having a read of the birdwatching forums and a look at their for sale sections, you might pick up a bargain.
