I never updated on this one. I wound up with the 16's (Gen 2) and recently took them on an open country mule deer hunt as my chest rig and really enjoyed them. I don't care for the target mode. I don't know if its my pair or all are like that but they lose some image quality to my eye when locked in target and moving too fast causes them to glitch. I find the scan mode to be more than adequate for all of my glassing. As with several pairs of binos I have owned, even slight pressure on one of the eye cups and it collapses. I spoke with customer service before hunt about that and they were great but I was hesitant to send them back for repair so close to the hunt. I will send them in shortly. I did struggle with some closer glassing on deer that I often picked up with my naked eye as the field of view is limiting but unless I was digiscoping, I rarely needed my spotter. The binos were the star of show on my eventual harvest when I glassed a buck a good distance away going over ridge. I got in underneath his last know location. After a few minutes, I glassed him just in time to see him bed at the top of the draw with just antlers above the sage well up the ridge above me. I waited over four hours for him to stand again. During that time, when I would get uncomfortable, I could lay back to stretch and literally one hand the binos from that position to verify he was still bedded. Going between the gun and binos was much easier than repositioning behind a tripod and spotter. While nothing is perfect, these were a great tool for open country hunting.
