I want to buy my wife a new down coat for Christmas. Currently she wears a really old mountain hardware coat she has had for years. Looking for something with a little durability but she’s extremely cold natured so I want something super warm. Any suggestions? She is 5’6” but small and petite.
I also have been running the 2.5-15x50 this season. I like it. Good tracking and return to zero and the glass is better to my eye than my VX-5. Got mine on sale at EuroOptic and very pleased.
Resurrecting this because I am close to buying some RF binos. This thread has been super helpful. I will hang on to my SLC 8x bino and Leica rangefinder combo for now and will upgrade my whole kit to include an RF bino.
I remember a few years back Matt Cashell wrote a fantastic review on the Monarch HG as well. I believe he reviewed the 10X42 but I’m assuming it’s the same glass.
Yep. This is it. I live just outside of the Park (Great Smoky Mountain NP) and hunt public land. I hunt the Nantahala NF and love the challenge and the country. Have been here all my life and so were my ancestors for several generations.

Here I go down the hole again…
Anyone here have and use both? I have a
VX-5HD but looking at a used Mark 4. In the same basic configuration. Looking at a Mark 4 in 4.5-14x50 and I have a VX5 3-15x44 and 5-20x52
1. Lowlight comparison
2. Glass quality/clarity/coatings
3. Reliability/tracking
Thanks
I don’t know about budget category but I ended up with a 2022 model SLC 8x56. I just picked them up after the season so I haven’t hunted through a season with them yet. Playing with them in the pasture looking at cows and also looking at my 3-D target 100 yards from the porch and I think they’re...
Looking at Nicks, JK, Drews, Whites and open to others. I want to pull the trigger but would love to hear personal experience based opinions. I am looking at the JP Superduty and OT as the front runners in my search. Never had a tall heeled-style boot. Even my western boots are Roper’s, and I...
