Yup! Toast a guy over a mile away? With a decent set of binoculars it's no big deal haha.
Another thing to remember is that if you get vision magnification in cyber eyes you can do the same thing. However you need to make sure it's optical magnification and not electronic magnification. There was a big distinction in SR3, but I don't recall in SR4.
For clarification, the difference between the two is that optical magnification has to do with normal optics (i.e. lenses and the distance between them, mirrors, etc). In essence your vision is not changed in any way, you're seeing the actual subject through a device that manipulates the normal physical characteristics of light. Electronic magnification means that the image is processed then enhanced through a computer. Since you're seeing a digital copy of the actual subject, you can't cast a spell on that target.
