debating if I would be better off getting the c2 7x28 for whitetail & c1 8 or 10x42 for archery elk in CO or just get the b3 8x30 only for both whitetail and elk hunting?
Yea, paired with a spotter, for sure 8x30/32's. If all I had were my 8x32's and my Nikon ED50, I wouldn't feel handicapped at all. In fact, that IS what I plan to have next season - leaving the x42's in the truck for window glassing duty.I love my b3s. Used them for whitetail this year and some casual use looking at deer out west. In the future I would not hesitate to take them backpack hunting paired with a spotter. For low light they will take you beyond legal shooting light in the timber as well.
Yea. Once I leave the truck 99% of my glassing is with my bins. I'm not a trophy hunter so it's pretty rare for me to pull out the spotter. I can generally see what I need to see with my bins mounted on a tripod. I mostly use my spotter from the truck for glassing meadows and basins 1+ miles away. Saves me a lot of hiking/driving during my week of scouting prior to the season.Would you be OK with good 8x30 with no spotting scope in CO?
