BTX Impact on Glassing Systems

[RussGS]

Optics systems are frequently debated. Up until recently, the questions every person has had to answer for themselves:
-Which bino configuration?
-One bino or two?
-Spotter or big bino?

I have adapted the system laid out in Robby's book and related article below, which is a 3 optic system.

Killing Big Mule Deer: Glassing

Robby demonstrates the number one technique for killing big mule deer: glassing. He kicks off his new series, glassing.

My thinking since the BTX came out is just do an 8x42 and the BTX. You get the usability of an 8x, and (I assume) comfortable long-range glassing with the BTX. Anybody with experience using the BTX let me know what you think.

Thanks

Interested as well even though they are so out of my price range. I run 10's and spotting scope. I could sell my wife's car and buy the BTX.

coues32, Is there any difference in brightness between the BTX and the regular ATX/STX eyepiece?
Thanks

 

[coues32]

Not sure, only bought the btx. Don't have a need for the other eyepiece

Hi Russ,

This is the exact combo I will be using most of this upcoming season.

I am using the 8x EL Range and BTX.

If you have any specific questions, please feel free to ask.

We also have a bunch of Optics Experts on this forum and I am sure they would all love to help you.
