Maven B.6 12x50 vs Vortex Razor HD, and UHD 12x50 ***Updated 1/23/22***
If you're getting eye strain from binoculars it's usually because there's a collimation issue. This can be more likely with cheaper binoculars due to quality control, but it can happen with expensive binoculars too. Any binocular that gets bumped can get knocked out of alignment. A Swaro EL... -

Stuck with a stap-on bino adapter?
I've been using an RRS cinch a little lately. I like it and don't notice any issues with panning or with tripod balance. -

WTB Looking for some cheaper binoculars to leave in my work truck
Yeah. They have a standard 1/4x20 thread and they come with an adapter. They also come with a really nice hard case.- Hoodie

Is a $600 backpack worth it??
If you're looking for a solid load hauler that is somewhat less than that and don't mind packing meat in the bag, consider a Mystery Ranch Terraframe or Glacier. But in general, packs are worth spending on. Along with boots and optics (depending on hunt), they are arguably the most important... -

Advice for starting my glassing setup from the ground up
The Maven B5 18x56 is another option to consider. I doubt the Razor UHD is worth the extra cost given that the same manufacturer makes both. For chest binoculars I'd add the Maven B6 10x50 (which is as light as many 10x42) and the Nikon Monarch HG 10x42 to the list. I would not spend the... -

What is the true odds
Is it the non-resident's first elk hunt or his fifth? Or tenth? Can't get experience if you're too worried about failure. I hate failure and am irrationally scared of it, but it's a necessary part of learning how to hunt OTC unit elk. The more you hunt, the more you learn. The more you learn... -

Uncompaghre insulation- continuous filament or no?
Looking at synthetic jackets, which I generally avoid due to loft loss with regular use. I won't buy anything with short staple insulation like old school Primaloft for that reason. Anyone know if the stuff First Lite uses is continuous filament? -

Anchoring shots/aiming for heavy bone with monolithic bullets
Interesting to see so many opinions on both ends of the bullet hardness spectrum. I imagine a lot of that has to do with average shot distance. I took a look at the Berger stability calculator. A lot of the monolithic options in 7mm were right on the cusp of marginal instability. Probably not a... -

South side of mountain, where to find elk?
You aren't looking hard enough for the north face. It's on the other side of the south one :) In all seriousness if the north side isn't viable because it's cliffy or something, I'd look for conditions that mimic north slopes. Like water availability, shade, cool microclimates, etc. Feed on... -

15x56 in replace of spotting scope??
These deer are also at about 3/4 of a mile, but this is with some zoom from my phone camera. Makes a big difference. I'd say it makes it about as useful as the average 50mm spotter, but much easier to glass through for long periods and with better FOV. -

15x56 in replace of spotting scope??
For reference, here are some photos at 18x (handheld through my crappy phone camera). Elk at a little over 1/2 mile Deer at just over 3/4 mile A PhoneSkope will allow you to zoom in, which adds to the distance you can effectively size things up.
