With Swarovski that equates to mucho Dinero!
Still on the list!
Just wondered if there was something that the target shooters could recommend for 1000+ yards.

Target shooters don't usually need that much quality. Their targets are marked and all you need is to see the marker. I've used a pair of 10x Practica binoculars to do the job and they were adequate even for 1,000 yards. To see bullet holes at 1,000 yards any scope that will pick them out, if indeed you can find one, is going to make your wallet bleed from a major artery. Unless you are shooting with a 6" naval gun. If you can find such a beast then the magnification will mean you will also need a really solid stand for it as the slightest vibration will produce such blurring as to make it unusable.
What will you be shooting at that needs you to see the bullet holes? If it's a fixed target then a remove viewing system will probably be better, and cheaper, than a scope.
If you don't have to give up your car because other people commit crimes in their cars, why should I have to give up my firearms because other people commit crimes with their firearms?
