What swaro to trade on???

[Deeman92]

I’ll be trading a rifle and hoping to get 14 nl pure or btx…

I have 10x50 el and stx w/115 mm at the moment looking for something in between.

Question is
-would you have 10’s on your chest, 14’s and big spotter in pack??

-Or go with 10’s and btx and stx in the pack?

Can a guy use the 10’s for inside let’s say 800 yards and btx for everything else or is it too much for inside 1200 yards? Or does a guy need the 14’s for that 800-1500 yard glass?

I would take the 10s and BTX, having 15x56 and 10x Swaro binoculars as well as 85mm and 115mm btx/atx with doubler. I use the 15s the most, but the BTX is the last optic I would trade away. I can cover so much ground with it.

For mule deer I'd probably just pack the 14's and spotter. I have NL8's as well so I use them on the front and will be packing the 14's and spotter in my pack most of the time on hunts where I need a spotter. I have an early deer hunt and plan on taking all three. I don't really see me leaving the 14's in the truck for any situation so I may end up with all 3, that's why I bought the 8x32's.

I've packed 15's, 10's and a spotter in the past on multiple hunts and have never regretted taking my big spotter and always regreat it when I leave it behind. Even when I had an ATC I wished I had my big spotter, it's just nice to get a good look or really pick apart an area if you plan on spending most of the day on a vantage. Even for archery elk I like my big spotter and big bino's when packing in, I've left the spotter in camp once were on elk but any time we are headed to a good vantage I want it there.

You can hand hold 14's decently for a quick look at stuff, but if a person is contantly moving and glassing off into little holes smaller binos are the ticket.
