It started with this video of a GAP 7wsm being shot at 2k which I'm sure most of you have seen (2:01 in video):
Gap 7wsm at 2000 yards - YouTube
I linked the moment where he tells us that he's recording that not through a spotting scope, but with an HD camera. I'm pretty impressed by how much zoom it has.
Then I found that there are some stuff like the Panasonic HC-V520 with 50x optical zoom (http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/HC-V520K):
Here are a couple example videos demonstrating the zoom:
Panasonic hc v520 Amazing Zoom! - YouTube (1:00 in video)
PANASONIC HC-V520 AMAZNIG DZOOM @ 3000X LOCATION IS 6KM AWAY - YouTube
Considering we are looking at something that costs around $350, is this not a viable way to spot before buying something like a Swarovski? If so, we would also have the added bonus of actually recording the shots.
