Can someone recommend a good spotting scope that can see .17 caliber bullet holes at 100 yards? I've got a 3x15x42 weaver scope currently on my rifle that I can just barely see the bullet holes but it takes too much concentration especially if the bullet holes are in a non-white area of the target. I'm willing to spend about $400.00 but would like to spend less if possible. I don't think I need a 60 power scope so I probably could get by with a 35 or less. Anyone have some firsthand experience with .17 caliber at 100 yards? One other thing is that I need good eye relief since I wear glasses.

Thanks
