Any particular area of the unit where you’ve seen more crowding? (N, E, S, or W is just fine:) did fair weather seem to be a factor? I typically shoot for the about the worst weather I can find to hunt during
I can’t speak to the gen I, but my buddy and I just did a side by side comparison of the 27-60x85mm and the 22-48x65 Razor HD gen II’s. We were looking at a street sign in low light (around 9:45 PM), distance ~600 yds (I can update when I have an actual range). The 85mm let in a ton of light and...
