how are these for glassing hills at 600+ yards? should i get the 10-22 magnification pair?

Seem really good I took them out turkey hunting and the zoom is really clear. I would put them against any binculor out there

Yep. From that distance you will need all the reach you can get and the difference for closeuo (8 vs 10) is not significant. Dray6850

I am not sure what you mean by 'glassing'. I am delighted with these for watching wildlife on the golf course behind my house and for using when hiking on vacation.

Depends on what MM eyepiece you are going to purchase. Anything below a 9MM would most likely not give you a focused view. The 90 GT is a 910 focal length telescope and pushing the magnification past 100X will definitely (Unless you have perfect seeing, darkness, and transparency.) be difficult to focus and define. If you go with a 9MM , 12MM or a 18MM Xcel eyepiece you will have no problems using these with the 90 GT.

I would say this scope is a bit of overkill for the 10/22, but you could mount it with the correct rings. The magnification on this scope would be good out to at least 400yds and I rarely shoot a 22 past 100yrds. I would suggest this same scope in a 3x9x40 and stick with the Nikon because they are the best for the money.

I've shot at 100 yards with good groupings, the 3x zoom makes it so much nicer than the plain red-dots for distance. 200 yards would probably not be bad at all either, depending on what you are trying to hit.

You can research some others on scope magnification use from 600-1k yards. At 9x magnification you are probably right at the minimum you want to be to be able to reach that range. I have not had the ability to make a shot that far where I am but this scope performs very well for me - and that's not even stating that the price is right. My farthest shot has been a little over 300 yards and it grouped very nicely for me (and I have older eyes).

I've used the medium height Warne rings on objectives up to 44. You want to keep the front of the scope as close to the top of the rifle to promete the best accuracy. It's always worked for me shooting out to @ 500-600 yards.

There is focus adjustment on the back end for adjusting ranges ... set it a 50 yards and mid-magnification and adjust if I need to for really close and over 100

depends. Its Japanese glass. very good for what you spend money on. I did a night shoot with it with. Just don't dial it up the the max. Maximum resolution is very fuzzy. its probably best to keep it around 20 in low light. I use an US optics 3.2-17 these days. Try looking up SWFA to get more scope for your money. There is no dial stop with this brand or caps to go over your turrets. If you like to hump your scope in the bush, this is not the scope for you. Its not amazing a bench scope either so its a pretty good beginner scope.

I think they would work quite well. I used to have a pair of 10X50 binoculars and it was too hard to keep the field of vision steady. Really needed a tripod to see clearly without shaking.However, I'm not a hunter, per se.

I've had mine for a little over a year. Great scope for the money, lenses are glass. Only draw back is while it is great for long distance, anything less than 50 yards out the scope has too much magnification.

I haven't tried viewing targets beyond 350 yards, but based on that I don't think magnification would be adequate for 1000 + yards.

I think they are fair in low light conditions not as good as the higher power binoculars but when you considering a compact pair they are fair and for the price to it was worth it not spending alot of money on a pair that might not be that good. Hope that helps answer your question.

Jim in my observation using this field scope I could very easily see the holes in the targets especially with the reactive paper targets that I have used. I have shot the targets with 22LR, 5.56 (223). No problems viewing at 100 yards on a clear day with ample day light. Hope this helps and good shooting to you!

I bought this scope for basic birdwatching, and hunting use. Landscape features a few miles away? I wouldn't expect much from it. I would go for something higher power than 16x for that. An inexpensive spotting scope? I'd look into this: Enjoydeal Multifunctional High Power MONO Multi-Coated 15-50X21 Single-tube Telescope MonocularTelescope Black

Hope my answer is not too late. The included 20mm and 10mm eyepieces reach 50X and 100X power. In daytime landscape viewing, especially a lake in summer, the power might be too much. Mostly you will not see a stable image due to evaporation. I tried viewing farm land in summer, the image was not stable when reached 30X with my other eyepieces. So you probably will need eyepieces with longer focal lengths. You can also try spotting scope with zoom magnification.

I am no expert on scopes but do know a "World Class" hunter. I'm told that Leupold, in this opinion, gives great light at dusk. So I suppose the more high end scopes give you greater magnification, crisper picture and more light in low ambient light situations. Guess it depends mostly on the distance to target, terrain, time of day and what your target is. Again this is an opinion and preference of a highly experienced hunter.

Well I beleive it depends at what range your shooting at. 100 - 150 yrds? Should be no problem. 200? Maybe the max. But I beleive for the cost its okay for that cal. But I would pay a little more for a scope that is more rugged and capable of a longer range. it would be worth it in the long run.
