Thanks Doug. Forgot about that option (although separate it’s still more expensive then what the pkg deal was).
Would there be any chance you would get your hands on a return or referb 774?
The pkg deals are not available because the 77 is discontinued.
I have the other two eyepieces now and can pick up a 774 body. So instead of paying over price buying the body and eye piece separate - I was curious if one of my current eye pieces would work and just buy the body.
I was not able to purchase the 77 when they went on sale and now you can’t find one at all.
Still see some bodies around so I want to know if anyone knows if a vortex razor 65mm gen1 eyepiece or a Swarovski 65mm 25-50 eye piece will fit on a Kowa 774?
Watched and read some after the release.
I remember when the original 50mm came out and was compared to the standard ED50. It was on par- but not necessarily better.
I think comparing it to an ED50 would be apples for apples and for those thinking of packing on less- maybe a comparison of a 65...
Never shot the grizz trick 2. Lots of shooting of the standard and magnum.
Standard always flew better.
When slick was sold the QC went way downhill. I would have to mix and match blades, heads and washers with multiple pkg to get good spinning arrows AND after a while in the quiver they...
I think for 95% of the guys out there they can make any of the top three fit them and function well.
It comes down to what and how you will be using the pack for. The Kifaru is built like a tank and is the stiffest of the three. If you are backpack hunting spot and stalk only- no problem...
I think the cross trek system and how the footprint integrates with the tipi leave room for endless possibilities of add on options for customers to really dial it in for their specific needs. ie. carbon pole option instead of trek poles, nest option for early season bugs, 2 & 6 man options.
A review is only as good as what you compare the new optic to. Edge clearity when compared to many of the others already listed, but if you have a Meostar 85 why not through that in as well. I am not looking for last light- but how does the 66 compare to others for edge clearity or chart...

Looks good guys!
Man- if one if you DIY'ers could figure a way to get the lumbar pad and belt from a KIFARU on an EXO K4 (would need a taller and stiffer attachment sheet to connect to the carbon stays than what EXO currently has on their belts)... I would pay good money for something like that...
Great trip!
Are antlers still allowed on the Expedition ferry?
Thinking of applying for 2024 state hunt- but would have to take antlers back (high hopes for a 30+” -lol) via ferry to Maui then fly back to the big island (where I will be staying)
