Thats good feedback... another question to ask yourself is how proficient you are with said firearm and how quickly can you get a shot or multiple shots off.
I chest carry a Glock 29 with Buffalo Bore 220gr hardcast because it's lighter than a 20 but has the ability to carry the same capacity...
I was recently in the same boat as you looking at the Kowa 553 and comparable quality 80mm objective scopes. I ended up going with the Meopta Meostar S2 20-70 for the extra power (currently $1800 at cameraland).
On a recent solo sheep hunt, I saw tons rams far up near ridge tops, but had to...

I'll primarily be using them for hunting Dall Sheep in Alaska and my main method of transportation from the road system will be hiking, so weight is...
Thanks all for your suggestions and feedback! I got to try out a few today and I agree with the sentiment that there's much better glass out there than the Vortex at that price point. I ended up picking up the Nikons since I was able to get them right at $800.
