i will try out the c3. Tried a viper in 10x42and 10x50, the diopter was maxed out so they are a no go. The c3 has a big diopter range, and is light. The narrow fov may not be an issue, I generally hunt river valleys and clearings, under 200yds at first and last light.
Just tried the 10x50 viper yesterday but the Diopter range is not enough for my eyes. looks like the B6 may be a little short too. Have conquest hd and a victory fl with plenty of adjustment, so may need to change tact
Does anyone have field experience in performance, clarity and low light performance, between the older MIJ models and the current models. I assume the MIJ models had better better overall QA and less operating issues then the mic and Philippine models, just wondering if much difference in glass...
Thanks all. Will consider the pro guide in mix. They come in at 28oz which is nice. I have gone by reviews more than anything else, keen on tract 10x42 seems to run the 10x42 conquest hd close at low light. I dont have any experience with these Tho.
$500 budget, so looking at used vortex viper/razor mij if I can find one or a used Tract. Prefer the 10x50, but would take a good x42. Any one out there with experience in using these bins, would appreciate their advice. Or any other contenders.
The Sightron 8x32 blue sky as mentioned above is a nice low cost alternative. I have it in both 8x and 10x. They are light and nice to handle. Provide nice views during daytime but not nearly as bright as the conquest hd that I have for lower light levels.
