Totally on the fence with these two options, looks like the weight penalty for the 773 is roughly 10oz (having a little trouble nailing down weight of 663 eyepiece), pack ability seems to be close with only the 77mm having the larger objective, and price is about $700 difference.
I do a mix of day and backpack hunts for the usual western animals, run Leica Noctivids 10x on a tripod. Certainly not a trophy hunter but have come to realize some bennefit for glassing for animals with a spotter vs binos and not strictly just for a "closer" look use.
I know there are posts on this that generally lean towards the 773 but am I actually needing the performance increase if I am just looking for respectable animals and not interested in score?
