    10x low light bino

    50mm objective lens is superior in dark environments compared to 42mm. Astronomers prefer them for a reason I would imagine bigger then 50mm would be even better

    Kowa BD II 6.5 x 32mm or Maven B3 6x30?

    Compact spotter or 15x56s or alpha 12x

    Been down this road many times what I did learn is that one eye viewing of a spotting scope was not for me and most of the time the magnification was between 20-30x And I only looked out to 1-2 miles tops! At that point 15x covers that range well, more pleasing to view, and brighter due to...

    Cheapest Spotting Scopes for Range use out to 300-400 yards

    I use the fixed magnification eyepieces, they are near alpha glass quality. At least the sample I have. the 20x eyepiece is brighter and more comfortable 16x eyepiece is even better, but at that point I rather have 15x binoculars Like I said, it has a excellent reputation for a reason

    Favorite mtn rifle scope under 2k

    I like my mountain rifles light! a 1 ounce red dot is sufficient for me, especially since most hunts are under 100 yards in the mountains of the east coast

    Field of view - How much is too much??

    For me, the more the better. No such thing as too much ….the only limitations is that some optics tend to have distortion in the outer edges with super wide FOV I prefer zero magnification (red dots) so it’s less of an issue
