    15's vs Spotter

    Big binos are my preference as well. I have Meostar B1 15x56 and they are great. Much more comfortable. I do pack a small spotter as well when extra mag is needed, but for long glassing sessions, no question I use my 8.5x42 Swaro EL and the 15x56.

    Magnification range for elk

    Killed elk at almost 600 yards with a 3.5-10x40 scope. I prefer a light scope and more handy rifle. Some scope are so big and bulky to me. Friends have 4-14 or similar scopes and have found that they rarely need the full power. Killed my cow a week or so ago at 3.5x on my Leupold at 278...

    Sold Maven s.3 20-40x67 spotting scope

    like I said earlier, I would buy it if it was a straight scope. Shocked it is still available.

    First Elk - Thank You

    Way to stick with it and keep pushing. It can be so frustrating sometimes. Congrats on many fine meals. I am eating elk tenderloin tonight myself.

    Is the Vortex Razor HD Gen 1 16-48x65 the best value spotter under $1,000?

    I preferred both the Cabelas Krotos (Athlon Ares) and the Maven CS.1 to the Gen 1 65 Razor. But it was "picking fly crap out of chili" quite honestly. I could have been happy with any of them. I did like the dual focus of the Razor better. But the Maven and Krotos were sharper in their...

    First good spotter?

    Agree wholeheartedly with this comment. CMF, make sure you get a bino/tripod attachment and begin using your binos on the tripod. You will find it is way better then hand holding. I am always amazed at how much easier it is to see things when I do this. I shouldn't be amazed any longer...

    Best binoculars around 1k?

    Swaro used will be great. For new, I wouldn't hesitate to go with a Maven B2 or a B1.2 in the size I was interested in. Used the B2 9x45 for years and years. Really good bino. I got a deal on some used Swaro ELs I couldn't pass up on and "upgraded". I will be honest, my Maven B2 was soooo...

    My mountain rifle is getting walnut…

    I love this. So impressive to have the forethought to go through the steps properly and yield a beautiful result. I have one beautiful Walnut stock on a Model 70 that I refinished years ago. Made me love it even more. But boy my patience wore thin on that project. I can't imagine doing what...

    Crispi Nevada, Guide, and Colorado II

    I have the original Colorados, Guides and Nevadas. Colorado's fit my feet perfectly, stiffer and overall my favorite. The Nevadas fit a little bit sloppy to be honest. Both are same size, but the Nevadas are definitely a little wider. The more I wear them, they are fitting better, but I...
