There are few things as useful in long-range shooting as a good spotting scope. It allows us to spend more time on the gun as opposed to countless trips downrange to check our hits. However, all spotting scopes are the same. This is especially true once we start reaching out to extended ranges. Glass quality and performance become increasingly important as the target gets smaller and smaller. A company that has a perfect option in this category is German Precision Optics. Their newest offering is the PASSION APO 16-48×65 spotting scope.
