I am curious the pros/cons and what is the best overall highcountry backpack hunting style optic setup. I currently am using Leupold BX-4 12x50s, but at times want some more power for those further distances. I will state for me i'm not judging inches, I just want to be able to identify a buck and his frame.
I am going back and forth between the following setups:
1. 15x56s slc only. down side they are heavy on chest and on a stalk or handholding they will be pretty much useless.
2. 10x42slc with a 65M swaro spotter. I feel i would be doing most of my glassing with the 10s which again would leave me wanted for further distances and I am not a huge fan of glassing with only 1 eye using the spotter.
3. 12x50 ELs maybe by themselves or pairing with 65M spotter.
