    Packable spotter of choice??

    If you can find a Swaro STM HD 65 with a 25-50 eyepiece that guy is hard to beat, but they weren’t made for very long so not a lot out there. 11oz lighter than the current STS and same optical quality Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spotting scope objective lens: 56mm vs 85mm for backpack hunting?

    Agree, was gonna say that as well. Kowa makes very good 66mm and 77mm options. Price on the 66mm definitely reflects that quality though. I would say go with the smaller scope, but I’m hesitant since I don’t know how big this country is you’ll be glassing. If you’re glassing a couple basins...

    Spotting scope objective lens: 56mm vs 85mm for backpack hunting?

    For example, for me I am backpacking 5-8mi into wilderness above treeline looking for high country mule deer typically, I may occasionally take it on lower country rifle deer tags for friends or a Barbary sheep tag here in NM. I am scouting with it all summer on trips ranging from 16-25mi on...

    Spotting scope objective lens: 56mm vs 85mm for backpack hunting?

    Hmmm tough question to answer, gonna really depend on the style of hunting, location, terrain, animal, your fitness, and what you value most in your glassing. Can you touch on those a bit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spotting scope objective lens: 56mm vs 85mm for backpack hunting?

    Agree I used to use a kowa 554 for backpacking, it just didn’t cut it so I bought a swaro 85 ATS, decided it was way too big and heavy for what I was going, got a Swaro 65 STM on the classifieds for like $1800 with the 25-50 wide angle eye piece and haven’t looked back. So if you’re stuck on...

    What Happened to Sitka?

    This is exactly the explanation I was waiting for. Thank you for sharing, makes a lot of sense. I hope the emphasis on lifestyle is temporary and they continue to innovate and push the technical hunting market when things settle down. Time will tell I guess. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What Happened to Sitka?

    This is very true for their membrane based products (wind and rain shells). I can imagine that product line is in for some tough times ahead for a while until PFAS free technology catches up. However I’d say a majority of their line is not membrane focused and despite these issues and it being a...

    What Happened to Sitka?

    Ya that’s my thought too, probably not a big game marketed pattern. In the case it is, I have so many questions haha. Imagine if they combined open country and subalpine into one to reduce SKUs. Optifade powers unite! [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What Happened to Sitka?

    Does it seem odd they are releasing a new camo pattern in the middle of archery elk and archery deer season? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sorry can’t seem to find it, but next time I see it I’ll screen shot it and share it here, unless someone beats me to it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What Happened to Sitka?

    Great thoughts all around. Something interesting I saw today is an advertisement on IG for a new optifade pattern. Could be another reason why they are liquidating so much inventory. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What Happened to Sitka?

    For all the folks thinking the OP was focused on dudley or influencers, it was only added as another data point that a large industry brand (yes nock in is a brand, not just some “de jour” influencer) is leaving Sitka for stated reasons matching up with some separate observations made, or rumors...
