Some rough math would indicate that a 60X scope would be roughly equivalent to a 2500mm camera lens. The telephoto lens I mentioned before rates 2600mm with the 2X multiplier. Together they sell for around $200. They won't win you any awards for great quality photos but they are about the same quality as spotting scopes.

Of course the quality of the glass has a lot to say with how well you will see bullet holes at distance. The lens I mentioned will do OK at 200 yards picking up .223 holes but beyond that you will need a much better quality set of lenses. You can buy those for a camera but they come at a very high price.
