Cody....you found the magnifier extender to not fuzzy the image?

I had gotten one for my 85 and 65 lenses and didnt like the fuzziness or limit on light, so I sold it

It looks pretty good to me at 2.2miles with it cranked up today. I wouldn’t think the difference would be very dramatic between the 95 and 85 though. This was taken without a digiscope adapter with solid mirage 20 minutes after sunset with the truck running. I’ll get the adapter out tomorrow and turn the truck off.

Here’s one I got tonight of the full moon. Little better representation of the clarity.

The kowa will serve you well for a do it all spotter, I was in a simular situation and have decided on saving up for the 85 ATX simply because it's only 7 oz heavier than the 773 kowa with the TE-11 eyepiece AND can swap into BTX which will be very helpful for me during mule deer scouting season. I don't plan on getting the 65 or 95, I'll use the 85 for all my backpack hunts and day hunts

I just purchased Swaro STX 85 from a fellow Rokslider here this week.... couldn’t be more happier!!! Thanks Eli
