    Larger objects with atx - more clarity ?

    Tdot, I truley admire you for carrying the 95mm. I personally would never pack it on backpack hunts and don't feel like I'm losing anything by packing the 65mm. Ive never done a side by side comparison between the 95mm and 65mm and it sounds like you have. Is there really that much of a...

    Am I the only one?

    Formidilosus, if a person is on a forum asking about comparing binos and creating a conversation about it then I would say he wants to know what those differences are. Wether they are a functional difference to you is one thing and wether they are a functional difference to someone else is...

    Am I the only one?

    Also, look at an object and in the middle of your field of view the image will be clear. Then look at the edge of your view and compare the clarity or the blur around the edge. Do this in bright conditions but ln the evening and let it get dark during your comparisons. To get more particular...

    Best ROI on upgrades for November elk hunting

    Based on your answers to the questions I personally would get a spotting scope. Then I'd work on upgrading the binoculars. Goodluck in your plans and I hope you get out West again soon.

    Best ROI on upgrades for November elk hunting

    Well in my opinion, I would upgrade both bino's and spotter. But let me ask some questions. Are you happy with the Nikon Monarch 3's? Meaning, can you live with them on your next Western hunt and get a better scope? Another question. Will your hunting partner be with you on your next hunt with...

    Outdoorsman Tripods.....still worth it ?

    The Outdoorsmans tripod has a lot of competition nowadays with some options being lighter. But if you are looking at using the tall tripod then I assume weight is not an issue. I have never used the tripods you mentioned so I cannot comment. But I do have a small Outdoorsmans tripod with regular...

    Digiscope video

    You did a good job. 15 years ago we used to use camcorder and point and shoot cameras with adapters, some home made and some you could buy. Nowadays most of us use our phones on a phonescope or phonecam. There are multiple videos on youtube showing homemade versions. Seeing your setup brought...

    Need a replacement for my zen ray primes

    Bryant, it was so long ago that I cant remember if I had the Primes. But I remember everybody on the forums talking about how good they are and they were right up there with Swarovski. So I got the latest greatest that they had at the time and like many bino's that people rave about and swear...

    Need a replacement for my zen ray primes

    I once owned the Zen Ray's. I would say the Vortex Viper is similar or look at Leupold BX4. If you have $750 and have the possibility to save more then I would go for a used deal on the slc's from rokslide classifieds. Or look at Meopta. Nowadays you have lots of options. Fatrascal

    Digiscoping with STX

    The part that goes over the camera is a stick on adapter. Then the part that goes on the scope screws onto the adapter. Do not have it with me right now. Very easy and simple to use. Fatrascal.

    Digiscoping with STX

    Phonecam. They have a universal adapter that adjust in size and if you get a new phone then you just get the part that sticks to your phone case. Fatrascal.

    Swarovski warranty experience?

    I accidentally rolled my backpack down a mountain and when I pulled the spotter out the objective lenses was egg shaped and the eyepiece was wobbly. My fault. Swarovski fixed it for free. Sometimes when I'm using the BTX I see something so far out that 35 power is not enough so I switch to the...

    Alternative to the BTX.

    Blue 72, I've kinda been wondering when the other high end optic companies would come out with their owne binocular/scope combo or more of them come out with a set of big eyes. So I'm not surprised to see an off name company come out with one. I'm kinda surprised that the Chinese mass production...
