I'm looking to get a new spotter, I had a Vortex 16-48x 65mm. It was only functional to my eyes up to 40X at distances I was glassing at. I've been looking at the Kowa 65mm that goes up to 60X.
I have Maven 18Xs that I glass with A LOT and I like them a lot. 90% of the time my spotter is not taken on backpack hunts and mainly used on glassing missions, whether from the truck or dayhunts focused on glassing (versus hunting).
Is the Kowa 55mm that goes up to 40X a functional do-all spotter? If it's useable up to 40X, then I guess I can see as far as my Vortex, and it's lighter. But I'm leaning towards getting the 65mm so I can have the farther reach and since I use it primarily from my truck / day hunts / scouting.
Anyone feel that the Kowa 55 can be the only spotter you need?
