Magic item that doubles range of vision?

I don't know about doubles, but Eyes of the Eagle give you a +5 on Spot checks. That moves your range of vision effectively 50 feet farther out.

Or you could go for the legendary (non-magical) spyglass, a bargain at a mere 1,000 gp. 
It magnifies things to twice their size, which is sort of like doubling your visual range.

Thanks for the suggestions. Spyglass is closer to what I am looking for. The big advantage: non-magical, no use of slot, no dispel, etc.
However, I don't think it could be worn permanently as a magic item could and would probably cause all sorts of disorientation if I tried to.
I would have thought, for some sniper class, there would be a magic item of this nature but I can't find one for the life of me.
Is there maybe a spell or class ability to help price out a custom item?

No. Spyglass is actually an anomaly, in that it gives the effect in plain English, rather than describing it in terms of game mechanics.
Think about it: What impact does it have on spot checks for things at a distance? It describes an apparent size change, but not what it does to Spot DCs.
Nothing, really. Each DM would have to decide for themselves what it did.
As for having something like that as a permanently wearable set of lenses: You'd lose peripheral vision as something that's currently a quarter of your visual field suddenly took up all of it. The rest would be lost off the edge of vision.

Use Shrink Item on the Spyglass.

That spell you keep mentioning? I don't think it does what you think it does...
I know exactly what it does. Transform it into a tiny cloth replica and sew it to your shirt, and you will be wearing it.
It won't have any effect in that form, but...

Which lead to my equally farcical "Princess Bride" paraphrase.
