German Precision Optics Question
Amateur rambling, but it’s info and what I thought about GPO 10x42. This isn’t between Leupold and GPO, and I do end up going with alpha glass, but this is what I thought last year. I bought a few and returned them, just for head to head comparisons... -

Zeiss SFL a year later? How do they stack up?
Thanks for all of that. I might rent again this year and see if I truly have a preference. Trying them out at home helped get to a 50% solution, but that clearly leaves a lot to be investigated that I can’t really do at home, talking this kind of cash. I guess the up side is that anything that... -
Zeiss SFL a year later? How do they stack up?
Yeah I couldn’t decide last year so I rented some. Ended up with SF 8x42’s and I did like them. I had also (previously) purchased EL’s, SF’s, Maven B6, and GPO HD’s to compare, but all in 10x. I mean, in theory the SF *should be better. I just hate that the 8’s have the same form and weight as... -
Zeiss SFL a year later? How do they stack up?
I’ve just about decided on 8x binos, and as a stand alone product or even stacked against other Zeiss products they seem to be a hit. At least in that context, we’ve all seen @robby denning reviews on them. For those that have field use and put them up against alpha offerings (directly or from... -
Sold Leica Ultravid BR 8x42
Having a tough time finding info on these, I assume due to age out? Specifically, physical dimensions since it’s touch to figure out from photos. (Height and weight.)- Bluto

Hung up on bino power: 8 vs 10
Great points, especially the math. I also dove off into the optic nerd rabbit hole for a day. Still leaning toward 8’s although if I decided on something like a Zeiss V SF, weight and size are the same so I guess it doesn’t matter much other than exit pupil for low light. (Might be my biggest... -
Hung up on bino power: 8 vs 10
I hear this a lot, and couldn’t agree more in principle. The question being - getting to the timber. Finding the elk. Is the 8x a limiting factor, even in archery season, in finding elk to go after? I know, the answer is “it depends.” Just thinking out loud. -
Hung up on bino power: 8 vs 10
Over 40. My eyes were 20/15 my whole life until within 48 hours of turning 40. Boom. Near vision is smoked. It was like a switch. Maybe that the reason the 10x42’s haven’t really floated my boat? High quality glass has, but not necessarily magnification. Yeah low light performance and FOV are... -
Hung up on bino power: 8 vs 10
Nope. I get fired up for guys that do trophy hunt and wish ‘em the best, I just don’t. I’m very much in the “don’t pass up on day 2 what you’d beg to see on day 8” camp. Of course, I now also consider any elk with a bow a trophy. But I got old at some point. Yeah that’s the gain for me... -
Hung up on bino power: 8 vs 10
Thanks to all. Folks do seem to lean towards 10’s. I wish I had a preference or a “normal” for conditions but the nonres tag game has gotten to its current state so I take whatever I can get. Meaning - open/timbered/etc varies by the year. I guess the better discussion point is - are the 10’s... -
Hung up on bino power: 8 vs 10
Search didn’t turn much up, although I’m sure it’s been beaten to death somewhere. In the context of only considering elk archery hunting, what’s the score with power? I was convinced it was 10x or nothing but last year I rented alpha glass to try out but they only had some 8x and I’m not... -

To stop thief from getting your guns in truck
If this was the issue we had with feds and guns, I’d be a lot happier and so would 5M NRA members. (Pssst. Might be worth finding out more information before throwing out pretty large accusations. But hey, it’s the Internet - so why bother?) -
To stop thief from getting your guns in truck
I don’t understand the question. Just do like me and have empty coolers. Every year. Over and over. You guys are making this more difficult than it really is. -

Colorado Draw results 2023
Just now got an email. What a phenomenal year! No Arizona (of course,) Oregon, and can’t even get an OTC/general in Idaho, Montana, or Wyoming anymore. Now officially no Colorado. I think that pretty much wraps it up. -

Ugh. Waiting on that, too. They should have to wait 300 days for their paycheck. -

Straight from the “well we’ve always done it this way” department. Same as WY. MT, etc. It’s electronic now, you know what it is, just release it.
