    Well, I’d say that was a pretty darn good election.

    Voter turnout

    Very busy at my voting place also. Polls opened at 8AM and there was a line out the front entrance at that time. A good sign!

    Zeiss SFL 8x30 Review— a compact with full size performance?

    Had my SFL 8X30 about a month and a half now? Didn’t draw for anything this fall but I’ve had them out numerous times glassing birds, fall foliage, and the north end of the Ruby Mountains after the first skiff of snow last week. They have very good clarity, brightness, and definition...

    You went from high quality 15’s to NL Pure 12s… Get in here!

    Sounds like a great combo. Have a good hunt!

    You went from high quality 15’s to NL Pure 12s… Get in here!

    Don’t hunt Coues but I do hunt elk and mule deer in pretty open country. I have the 10x50 EL which is very nice but have found myself wishing for more magnification these days? Compared the SLC 15x56 side by side with the NL 12x42 this morning. much preferred the ergos of the NL. Brighter and...

    Vortex Razor UHD 18x56 Review, By Jared Bloomgren

    I realize this is an old thread, but eurooptic has the 18x56 UHD on sale right now for 1300 bucks? I’ve thought about trying a Vortex UHD for a while, and I don’t have a set of ‘big eyes’ in my quiver-very tempting.

    ATS 65 vs KOWA 66A

    Sounds like I need to give Kowa a closer look?

    3x9x42 Nightforce SHV vs Tract Toric 2.5x15x44

    Not familiar with the Maven? I have an AR-10 with a Trijicon Credo 3-9x40 with a “mil square”reticle that is growing on me. I’m looking for a tough scope for a M85 Finnlight in 300 WM andI think that (apart from the reticle) the Baby SHV would be a perfect fit? Suppose I ought to buy another...

    3x9x42 Nightforce SHV vs Tract Toric 2.5x15x44

    The lack of reticle choices in the SHV has kept me from purchasing one, honestly. Offer a 3-10x42 in a mil-type reticle and I’m on it!😃

    Zeiss Conquest HDX 10x42

    I am a Zeiss fan. Be curious as to how the HDX does for you? I recently purchased a like-new demo SFL 8x30 and I’m quite pleased with it thus far.

    Which optics to upgrade first

    I also live and hunt in Southern Idaho and it’s easy to feel ‘under glassed.’ I run an EL 10x50 and often wished I’d gone with a 12x50 instead? At some point I’ll probably buy an NL 14x52 but lack of availability(currently) and the 3500 dollar price of admission is keeping my enthusiasm in check?😃

    Swaro EL vs NL pure

    Well said. My sentiments as well. Well, that and realizing I won’t get more than 1000-1200 dollars from my EL 10x50-that was a bit of an eye-opener!

    Why don’t the Kowa Genesis Binos get more love?

    Been a few days now and I’ve spent a bit more time behind the 8x30 SFL-the eye placement problems have almost disappeared and I am quite happy with the ergos, the lack of mass(wow!) and the clarity of the optics. Looking forward to using these in the field when weight is an issue. Edit: with...

    Swaro EL vs NL pure

    Checked with an online optics place that offers a trade-in program. Had them assess my EL 10x50s and they offered me 1000-1100 bucks in trade toward a new NL 12X42? I was hoping for a bit better but I understand why at this point in time the EL isn’t worth more money? That being said, I’m gonna...

    Why don’t the Kowa Genesis Binos get more love?

    Just received an SFL 8x30 and eye-placement is critical, to say the least? I like everything else but the eye placement issues are taking some getting used to?

    Which one are you choosing, NL Pure 14x52 or 10x52?

    Im thinking the 14x52 NL will complement my 10x50 EL and SFL 8x30 nicely? Well, my bank balance may balk at 3500 bucks, but oh well...
