Don't want to break the bank on one. I'm looking at the Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 20-60x80 (45 degree angle) on amazon for around $460. Anyone have any experience with this one? Will it work or can someone recommend something better for around $500?

I don't mind buying used. I just need to know what I need that will get the job done.If you buy used you will apply a factor of 2x-3x to your dollar power. Most optics are in near new condition. You will find a 500.00 scope for 125-250 or a 1500.00 scope for 5-600.

There will be 2 of us. One shooting and the other looking down range.Short of someone pulling targets in the pits and putting up large, off-color pasters, you're not seeing holes in paper with a spotter. You're not going to be fast enough to get off your rifle and on a spotter to see impacts and misses in real time with a spotting scope, either. The only way a spotter is helping you is with either someone else's eyeballs behind it, or using a phoneskope to record the spotter view and play it back.
It's going to be a challenge no doubt. The metal targets down the range are only 1'x1'.. We can bring are own targets, but I think they have to be metal. We need to figure out how to make one of those a little bit bigger then the ones provided.Once you reach mid level improvements are incremental.
One of the biggest limiting factors in spotting bullet holes is the air you are looking through. Mirage can be tough.

I have had both, good for the money, but really kind target to two different user bases. The razor smaller, lighter best for that light weight hunter, the T better for calling corrections.How does the T series compare with a Vortex Razor? Just curious. My Razor 11-33 is quite good and was only $450 used, but maybe new prices and higher mag really don't keep these in the same price bracket?
So the T is at least somewhat better optically?I have had both, good for the money, but really kind target to two different user bases. The razor smaller, lighter best for that light weight hunter, the T better for calling corrections.
I am a vortex sponsored shooter. Whenever my bank account recoups from all the shit ive bought lately, im buying a razor straight 22-48x56 and then buying the reticle eye piece. Until then, im doing just fine with my T series. It just feels weird having vortex on my jersey and im looking through a bushy spotter. In due time, i'll have the razor with the reticle eye piece.
^They probably have a wee bit higher level of sponsorship status with Bushnell than i do with Vortex. My whole shooting team is sponsored by Vortex. We get a huge discount on any of the products they sell. The spotter i mentioned wont be too expenisve when the time comes, but you dont understand how much money ive spent in the past 2 months. lol. Once my financial feelings aren't hurt anymore, im picking the vortex spotter up.
^yea, that aint my situation. LoL. I dont deserve that kind of sponsorship. Im primarily sponsored b/c im a fun guy to shoot with and try to be a good ambassador for the companies, not b/c im on any podium on sundays.. thats for damn sure.
