Looking to sell a pair of new (days old) Swaro HD 15x56s. Succumbed to the hype and dipped a toe. Took them out for some testing at the house is all. Absolutely amazing glass but I can't come up with a good reason to fit them into the types of hunts I have coming up in the near future. Comes...
Man, you guys are making that kowa sound pretty tempting! I’m an angled spotter guy but as mentioned about the no collar, I believe I’d have to go straight on this scope. My dad has a larger kowa 770 so I suppose if I ever needed count annuli I bet I could borrow that scope. Optics planet has...
Midrange, I would say that the vanguard is great but for just a little more $$$$ the athlon ares 65mm is in a whole nother league. The glass is as good or better and it is so compact it seems closer to a 50mm. I really enjoyed that scope,
I should add that I am looking for a spotter to simply get a closer look. I’ve had 80s but left them at camp after a couple days, and the 15-30x50mm spotters just didn’t give me much past my binos it seemed. My hands down favorite so far was the 15-45x65mm Athlon Ares because of its decent...

I have a lightly used Fred Eichler decoy I’m looking to part with. Great shape, original stakes and hanging cords. Just haven’t used it on backpacking hunts at all.
$75 TYD
Ran this spotter the past couple seasons and liked it quite a bit, just planning to make the move to my forever scope over this off season. Original packaging, case, caps etc and lenses are in great condition with no scratches.
$525 TYD
I have a long bivy that has been used just a couple of times and is great shape that I’m looking to get rid of. Very light but prefer no bivy. Also have a couple of the backcountry chairs that I’m looking to get rid of that haven’t been used in the field at all.
Bivy - $100TYD
Chairs - $50...
