Heck now the new baby Kowa is out I feel ones needed. But pretty sure it will be as good as atc with dual focus like all the others are saying.
New NLs would be fun to mess with too.
Will let you know.
I assume the width is to enable easier tension adjustments (wider equals more/sensitive torque refinement).
Not saying a smaller one won’t work, but the only reason to have one thicker I can think of.
Spotting animals I agree all will get it done with minor differences.
That said the spotter is the only one at longer ranges that will allow you to trophy pick.
Have tested this objectively (as I can) a few times.
15x will have a better experience but will
Never do what a spotter will beyond 1500yds or so. A spotter at 20x + will count times and what not. 15x won’t.
Really just depends if you want to scan at smaller ranges (15x) or pick out small...
That didn’t take long ;). If it’s close to swaro will be a sweet option. Specs are basically identical. Wish it published eye relief (edit: I see it now 17mm vs swaro 20), but the dual focus will be great.

I eventually paid the extra $ and have solar for all mine. Batteries always read 100% so don’t worry about it. I think it paid for the cost of batteries in about a year.
Anyone tried one of these?
Appears to be a good behind the harness option. I’m tempted to try with my kuiu but not positive there’s enough real estate to get it out smoothly.
