Should I get rid of NL Pure 10’s?

[RussDXT]

I have a pair of 10x42 pures and am thinking about picking up a 15x Meostar.

Would I be better served to get rid of the 10’s and do to 8’s?

I would use the 8’s as more of a handheld option and the 15’s on a tripod.

I hunt southwest Colorado and southern Wyoming.

Anyone in Denver have NL 8’s I could look through?

Many thanks!

I would just get NL 12’s and not deal with the 15’s and 8’s.

If you are in the NL pure price range already, I agree, trade up and get the 12s - can hand hold or tripod them. And with the better glass over the Meos you aren't going to miss anything. Nothing wrong with 15x Meos - I have them, they are just heavy and tripod only and need to be an option for a big difference from what you can pack along. For western hunting wouldnt recommend lower than 10x

I’m in the upgrade to 12x NL crowd.

I’ve had NL 10’s, NL 12’s and SLC 15’s.

I regret letting any of them go but needed money in a bad way at that time. I tested all three on a spring bear hunt. 12’s would be my all round pick for a do-anything bino.

The NL 12’s will NOT leave you wanting the 15’s.

I have a mint pair of 12s I’m looking to trade for 10 power. All packaging included. Just had them cleaned by swaro, no damage of any kind. Outdoorsmans stud included if needed.

Only looking to trade because I bought the 14s and don’t think I can justify having 12s and 14s so close in range.

The 8s are legit.. I feel like I can see behind me like an antelope.

This.

I think you'll be happy with the 8s.

Thanks fellas. 8s it is

Totally agree with 8’s, don’t overlook the 8x32’s either. I decided to do them instead of 42’s and love them, especially if your planning on big binos as well.

I can see deer with my 8x32’s even when I can no longer see them with the naked eye. Low light was my concern but they do great for me, love the small size and makes carrying my 14’s in the pack easier.

Thanks. I’ve been thinking 8s make more sense so I’ll be looking to make a trade for my 12s!
