[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1547683, member: 12443"] Well Bruce you didn't say where you hunt, but I can tell you the setup you now have is no doubt the most popular setup among long range hunters in PA by a wide margin. Also the twenty seven power you mention are an excellent quality eyepiece, especially for that type distance. Im assuming they are marked 27x@60, 22x@ 50, meaning objective size. Now note that I didn't say they are the best setup you could own, but assuming decent conditions at the time you shot, and no doubt they were for you to find the buck in the first place, would indicate to me that it could well have been a human error on the part of the spotter. First off, at that distance especially, (as a rule), whitetail deer don't go running off after a shot unless they have been hit. And that could explain not seeing the hit. Even with more expensive glasses, side by side on a decent day there will (not) be night and day difference between them and what you have. Differences yes, but they will not make up for lack of experience on part of the user, which I suspect is the issue. So now your ****ed off, but thats OK with me, get ****ed off, and then think hard about that situation and what ive said. 1600 yards is a very long shot, actually its an extremely long shot, further than any weve killed in almost 50 years of long range hunting. And frankly we have the better glasses as well as the ones you have. What your getting here is valid opinions of scopes, but based on no experience using them for what your doing with them. [/QUOTE]
