Love my STS 65 HD and 25-50X Wide angle eyepiece. Relatively cheap as Swarovski spotter configurations go, and light enough to carry in a pack.

For sheep and most other hunting the ATS Swarovski, 65mm objective, and the 25-50X wide angle eye-piece is great. If you won't be hiking long distances or backpack hunting then I would probably go for the larger objective and perhaps the 20-60X eye-piece

I hike long distances and use the 80mm objective, I’m glad I went with that one too.

The vote says it all. Most of us have used other scopes and ended up with Swaro...often wishing we'd started with it sooner. For all day glassing across long distances, the BTX cannot be beat.
