where to take my glass set up
12x is closer to 10x, so getting 7/8x is good advice but only you know what your looking for. I suggest getting the 12x first and try them all out together in an area where you can see long range. You will quickly decide your setup from that experience optics are like flavors of ice cream ... -

Clint Smith on rifle scopes
I think you like to argue just for arguments sake. The fact that your trying to apply logic and reason to sarcasm. Has you completely missing the point. -

Clint Smith on rifle scopes
Ryan Cleckner says something similar, Chris Kyle did too………they are trying to make a point that you are missing the window of opportunity and your shooting skill is more important then the equipment you have -
Clint Smith on rifle scopes
I think your might be misinformed and took his video out of context. He is referring to the current trend of overly complicated scope reticles and guys playing with their wind meters and ballistic calculators that they completely miss their window of opportunity. Once again this is a precision... -
Clint Smith on rifle scopes
I think it applies to hunting as well…..we all experienced a very short window of opportunity on game while hunting. Plus that video clip is from their precision rifle class not “fire for effect”. There is accuracy, then there is practical accuracy -

Binocular question?
I haven’t been impressed with the outer edges of the lower and mid priced meopta models the Nikon monarch 7 are really nice for the price -
Maven C4 in 15x and 18x
Well the C1 and B3 are dramatically differen. But it’s not just the FOV that impresses you, it’s probably the AFOV of the B3 too. The greater the AFOV, typically the more “immersive “ experience you have, where less AFOV feels like looking through “straws“…..so it’s possible the 18x might give... -
Maven C4 in 15x and 18x
Did you notice the 18x AFOV is 10 degrees better then the 15x. While the FOV remain pretty close. This should make the 18x feel wider. Even though mathematically the 15x are slightly wider -
Mavens 6x30 vs meopta 6x32
The maven 6x30 are nice but I like my Kowa 6x32 better thr Kowa has better FOV, AFOV, sharper in the center, easy on the eyes, and perform better at night.Dramatically better. I can see the North American nebula which I can’t in the Mavens the Maven have a slight smaller form factor, much... -
The nearly perfect budget mountain rifle scope doesn't exi....
It’s drives me nuts that I spend so much to have a light compact mountain rifle to only add bulk and weight when adding a scope. lately I’ve been using the even lighter leupold 6 ounce small fixed power scope and love it. I sometimes use red dots for an even smaller lighter set up -
Opinions on the $400 range of spotting scopes?
It’s not even close there are actually debates on Bird Forum that the ED50 is closer to the Kowa 553. Especially with the fixed magnification eyepieces -
Opinions on the $400 range of spotting scopes?
None of the above you can get a brand new Nikon ED50 from Japan in your budget. It is well regarded in the hunting and birding community For years if not decades. The glass quality is way way above its price point. It’s so good you will rarely find a reason to upgrade it. the only reason I got... -
12x or 15x binos for Deer?
I always said that 15x is the start of big views in binoculars However, 12x is very handholdable. Plus a nice 12x42 is compact and light as a 8x42. but since you already own 10x, a tripod is the better investment at the distance your looking at -
6/ 6.5 vs 8 x 30/32 what to buy
you need to try and see which you like best out of the Kowa 6.5x, Maven 6x, Nikon monarch 7 8x, and Meopta 8x I liked the Kowa the best. They are super sharp, crazy wide FOV, bright, easy on the eyes. But they do have mild distortion in the outer edge which can be focused out. -
Missing Rifle Scope Features?
I would settle for fixed magnification for its wider FOV and durability. SWFA shows it’s can be done and be extremely popular now if we just had better glass and even lighter weight then the popular SWFA -
Spotting Scope or High Power Bino?
