    Opinions of range finder

    2700 with ballistic SD card option also is a very sweet hunting unit especially if you hunt with only one caliber. Would recommend.

    Tripod Options Similar to Slik 624

    Yep just unscrew lower section and cover the screw threads with some plastic ends from a hardwear store (you can usually get an ideal fitting chair end)

    Tripod Options Similar to Slik 624

    Im gonna try a slik 635 and take the bottom leg section off for an UL sitting setup that will pack small. I run my 634 with same mod and shortened centre column comes in at 30oz with aoaka ball head. Pretty happy with that actually.

    Swarovski EL 8.5x42 vs 10x32

    Had the 10 x 32. Now got the 8.5 x 42. Wayyyy better.

    Disagree - 8.5 on a tripod for me as an all round performer

    Spotting scope purchase advice

    25-50 is superb. Slightly less eye relief for digiscoping so generic swaro adapter is not so good. Phonescope or make your own.

    Spotting scope purchase advice

    Whatever you go with you will push it to its limit once you start evaluating animals at a decent distance.

    Recommend me a spotting scope

    I use the 554 when doing the longer trips and it gets the job done. ATS65 off the valley floor covers everything else but there is a weight and size penalty.

    Opinions on a spotting scope for Mtn Goat?

    My AOKA ball head does the job (now on a 634). It was as stable as my 494 manfrotto. A carry option for oz counters.

    Shrink wrapping spotting scope

    3mm neoprene, works well in the pack. Shrink wrap the dingy bits

    Kimber mountain ascent 300 win mag, what scope?

    Leupy VX6 2-12 - TMOA reticle - Parallax set way out. Pretty OK weight, Very versatile and OK to 800yds 20 MOA rail so you have maintain good spring tension on the reticle (and dont end up at the end of of your adjustment)

    NL Pure Question

    Nothing wrong with the NL eye cups. I run them on my 8.5ELs and they are awesome.

    Ultra Lightweight Tripod for Binoculars-Oben CT-1000L

    That looks the same as the AOKA model on Amazon. Not stable with centre extension but ball head is ultralight and worth adding to a better set of legs like a Slik 624 if you want to strip ounces but still have a stable setup..

    Swaro NL pures or ELs

    NL eyecup is slightly larger diameter on the eyepiece. When used on an EL they give you an even easier view with full FOV at even more eye relief. The Black edge outside of the fieldstop becomes thinner and the view more immersive. Just so easy to get behind.

    Swaro NL pures or ELs

    Fitting NL eyecups to the ELS are also nice tuneup for the EL. Solid info here now the NL have been out for a while and proper comparisons have been done.

    Swaro NL pures or ELs

    I think we should actually compare the 10NL with 8,5 EL. Same FOV. Bigger exit pupil vs slightly more mag. Both awesome.

    Swaro NL pures or ELs

    The 8.5 EL is also something special. Alot to be said for a good tryout. Pick the one that gives easy relaxing unpicky views, if your going to put the hours in glassing. Compare the tripod views too.

    ATS65 HD 25-50 Advice please.

    Just had a 3 day solo trip on the tops, that would have had a very rough 14hr walkout if the heli didnt make it for the pickup. Weight was critical because it was rough terrain and I had all hunting and tent kit. The Kowa was awesome. Straight scope was easy to get on target. It was possible...
