Is there a BTX involved? @Eastonsgrandpa has a one in the classifieds that is tempting me

Assuming the folks that have it show up, yes sounds like a 65/85.

@sndmn11 and I apologize. Re-reading this you said BTX. Only ATX. No B.

You think it’s going to be fair comparing a BTX to anything else!!? But hey do it!!!!

Well, I don't have one and was hoping to try at our play date before buying.

The devil horned one says to buy a Benelli 828 performance shop.

That sounds mistranslated. I checked my Rosetta Stone and it was definitely about the BTX.

Love Benelli.

Yes, I have a BTX with a 95 mm objective, plus an ATX with a 65 mm objective, all are interchangeable and I'll be there Saturday.

Will the glassing spot be near our vehicles or should we bring a backpack to carry our gear to the glassing point?

 

[Tahoe1305]

The spot I’m targeting right now is on a restricted access dirt road (about a mile) up to the top of the overlook. I’m going to get security forces approval to drive up there. If I can’t I’ll find another spot we can drive to.

Planning to set the targets up and “test” the spot out tomorrow.

What time is the show supposed to start on Saturday?

 

[Tahoe1305]

2pm proposed. Give us time to setup. Get some higher sun glassing for 90 min or so. Then allow an hour for low light. Folks should be on the road close to 6pm. Obviously folks are welcome to come and go as they need.

That was the dreamy pair in 2015 for sure.
