Alright I know this has been discussed quite a bit, but I can’t seem to make up my mind. I’ve got some extra cash laying around and I’m either going to upgrade my binos or dive into the spotter world.
Currently I run a pair of 10x42 Sig KILO6k and they’ve been great, especially since I use to do a lot more long range shooting. Now I find myself grabbing my bow way more and ranging with those in bow distance has been unsuccessful for me.
That being said, I’ve got my eye on the 14x52 NL Pure as I’m a firm believer in buy once cry once and the clarity is insane. But the other part of me says to keep the Sigs and get the 65mm ATX. And I know the 14x might be over kill in some regions, but they are super attractive to me as a guy that spends a lot of time behind a microscope and just loves to pick stuff apart…
So let’s hear the pros and cons of each. My main use will be archery muleys in Colorado and all surrounding states. I’m also going to be going on my first sheep hunt either in Alberta this year or Montana next year. All my hunts are back pack style and I’ve already upgraded my pack, tripod, boots, and sleep gear.
I’m also considering the 12x42 NL Pures.
I know the spotter will be better for aging sheep but I’m banking on spending lots of time behind the binos (as I have a ton in the past) and that someone I go with has a spotter.
Appreciate any and all input ahead of time fellas!
