Don't have a spotting scope. Do have a 5-15 scope that lets me see .224 bullet holes that is on Weaver mounts. What if I get a camera tripod, tripod adapter (found one), aluminum barstock and some extra Weaver bases (have some) and juryrig it all together? Would it work well enough? I am sure that the Benelli types would frown but..........could do it for $20.
