The distance is much further but, when shooting rifle there are times when my 3X9 scopes won't let you see the group. Such as when shooting at a black centered target. I suppose you can use shoot and see or a sighting in target, one with mostly white on it, and do better.
Since the wife and I have started to shoot more long guns, we have been using a spotting scope. A cheap one, Barska, was like $60. Clear enough to see anything out to the maximum at our range.
This should be a fun endeavor. Personally, I have started to buy the best optics I can afford at the time. I now have two Leupolds and Nikons. If you are going to keep it, put the best optics on it you can afford.
Just suggestion.
