    At what point is having a light rifle a liability? Is cutting weight on your rifle really the place to be shaving ounces.

    What size Binos

    For a stone sheep hunt next year. I have a STS 65 spotter and tripod I WILL be taking. Given that, what size binos would you recommend? Normally 10x42 is the standard, but with the spotter, wondering if 8X will be sufficient.
