[QUOTE="gjk5, post: 944310, member: 47604"] I went and got two of the Vortex Ridgeline tripods from my dealer today and set up all three of them on the deck. I am up on a ridge where the Gunnison and Colorado meet and can see all sorts of rugged terrain and city. The Kaibabs were definitely sharper and brighter than the old Vipers, but not as much as I expected. The 20's were a little darker at dusk and dark but also not as much as I expected. The increase in magnification was nice, loss of field of view, not as bad as expected and definitely better than the Viper spotter @ 20X. Overall I probably could not justify going from the 15X Vipers to the 15X Kaibabs for the price, but for the 20's, and considering they will always be on the Outdoorsmans tripod, it is probably a justified upgrade. I think the 20's on tripod and the Leica HD-B's will be a pretty good combo for where I hunt. May get some decent 8X and a smaller RF for archery later, but just started getting into that. [/QUOTE]
