    65mm spotter.....can anything run with the Swaro ATS HD?

    valid point for sure. What I get is the eyepiece in my 77. For some reason if I want the new 66 I can grab it and if it overlaps too much I can grab the 88 the 88 and 95 class is getting damn big and more for a guide to pack around to use with a client, in my opinion. 77mm is the biggest...

    65mm spotter.....can anything run with the Swaro ATS HD?

    Sounds like kowa is in the process of a 66mm upgrade. My guess is that once the 77 and 88 eyepiece is put on a 663/664 then the 65ats and atx will see a drop in their sales. My old 663ed kept up just fine with the 65atx and ats. From my experience the kowa was sharper and had more contrast...

    puffy pants packability: SKRE Ptarmigan vs Kuiu Super Down Pro

    Weight also depends on the denier. I did a comparison table of zip off puffy pants if you search it and compared by weight. You'll noticed heavier denier and reinforced knees and seat add weight. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

    65mm spotter.....can anything run with the Swaro ATS HD?

    I just sold my 663ed. It's fantastic. I wanted more light at 60x times so I've gone up to the 773. I bought a 65atx and returned it after comparing it against my 663. 65atx was Incrementally better than the 663 but it was really just the field of view that I liked. I ate $200+ in return charges...

    Cool. So you prefer a bit less of a compressed ball in your pack? Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

    WTS Kowa 663ed

    Someone thought the m standed for magnesium. 663m is heavier than 663ed because of that. Optically the same. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

    Dry Bag sizing and type.

    I have a couple osprey bag liners that are great but large. I was using a larger one for my sleeping bag, pillow, liner and pad. Was kind of nice having it water proofed and a little more flexible in the pack. Compression sack just makes it a bit rigid in there. I've got the sg7900 so there...

    I am sure I'll regret selling this spotter if I ever go on a solo goat or sheep hunt. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

    WTS Kowa 663ed

    you bet. It's good for folks to see the quality of this spotter. I think it's just over 1000 grams. Swaro ats60 is around 1300grams and the swaro atx65 is 1900 grams. The comparison photos of the vehicle in the carport makes it look like the swaro is sharper but I was trying to focus on the...

    WTS Kowa 663ed

    ** sold ** I'm going to make the jump up to either the 773 or 883. I may regret this sale because this spotter is lightweight with awesome optics but I want a little more reach and possibly the use of the magnifier. I'll post some pics that I took as a comparison against a 65sts HD as well...

    Dry Bag sizing and type.

    I tried doing a search and was surprised to not find many/any threads on this topic. What size of dry bag/compression sack do you recommend for the following: 1) My puffy pants and jacket and any other extra items like socks, underwear and maybe a tshirt. 2) sleeping bag, pillow, and liner...

    Talk me into or out of kowa spotter, 554 vs 773 vs 883

    just keeping the discussion going. I'm stuck between the 773 or 883. I have 15s so the 553 is not different enough to warrant that spotter. I need the magnification. Any input from the folks that have had the 883 and downsized to the 773, or visa versa (773 to 883)? any noticeable difference...
