Just to be an advocate, it used to be something l looked at. I think for guys trying to figure out the out of state game; its a huge investment. There is an audience of hunters that is concerned with taking an animal regardless of size. We need them in this too. I have a friend that makes his...
Im sure ill get in trouble (Sigh) I use compressed air. Low PSI 5-10, NEVER directly on the glass. I then have a special microfiber that lives in a ziploc; never touched anything but glass and my hands. Ive found that air removes the large dust particles, if you dont get those out then when you...
I agree, 12's seem like they are a one and done on a tripod. I do carry a spotter, so for my style and budget (at this point) I cant see packing 8's, 12's, and a spotter. 12's and a spotter dont make sense, 12's arent quite powerful enough for LONG distance glassing, and they arent steady enough...
For anyone that looks this up in a future case. I had a chance to stop by BlackOvis today in Salt Lake City and try out the EL 10 x 42s, NL 10 x 42s, and NL 12 x 42s. I Started with the 12 x 42s as to not have a bias about shakiness coming from viewing the 10x's. My biggest concern on the...
Bummer. My receipt looks as yours, but my app shows no available license, and the website isn’t available. Bummer. How long does the draw process take? Do they just fire up the computer Friday before everyone goes home? 😂😂😂
Awesome. I’ve never packed both a spotter and binos. Usually just 10’s. I upgraded my spotter and now carry it full time; just trying to find the best fit. 10s or 12s. I traditionally run 10s
Ah. That’s the most clear way I’ve heard it put. So basically, the main advantage in the 10x goes to the NL, but in weight and ergonomics. A 10% larger FOV? Otherwise they are virtually the same? Worth 1k? Hmm. We really do pay a lot for small differences. After reading thru this, I’m going to...
