My spotting scope is a Kowa TSN-82SV with a 25x LER eyepiece that I've had and used for probably 11 or 12 years and it has suited my needs just fine out to 800 yards, no problem whatsoever seeing hits on white AR500 targets out to that range.
My target hangers are metal fence post with a Shepard's hook attached using clamps and bolts and hung with 3" fire hose ... maybe 14 or 15 bucks invested in each hanger post and these have lasted for years. This is the best setup I've found that is durable enough to withstand getting hit by multiple bullets. I also use a plastic Cool Whip container with the bottom cut out to paint the targets between hits, it packs easily in my range bucket and is pliable enough to retain it's circular shape ... it makes a 5" circle which I like because that's 1 MOA @ 500 yards, my most often used range.
Absolutely wonderful ideas.
Super sweet.
