[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 1609809, member: 65338"] That is totally a personal preference on what a person likes for magnification and might also be partly based on a person's physical fitness level. I know people that use 8x32 binoculars and lower power 4-12x rifle scopes with small spotters in the high country. That's fine. Its whatever you are comfortable with. I personally like higher magnification and will pack the extra weight to get the advantage it gives me on finding animals and making accurate shots. So for me, my packing optics this upcoming fall will be 10x42 Leica Noctivid binos, Swarovski ATX spotter with 65mm obj and 1.7x mag extender, and Trijicon Accupower 4.5-30x56 riflescope. If hunting on the plains where hiking is easier and a good amount of glassing can be done from the truck, I will bring my 95mm objective for the Swarovski ATX. [/QUOTE]
