[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 244509, member: 8"] Using the Kowa 821 I can see antlers and rough score them at 2 K. I am not a horn hunter so I just know such things as how many points it has and how long the tines are. I can tell if an elk tine is 3 inches long or five inches long and I am no way an expert. I can see a deer's knees wobble at 700 yards and know another bullet is not needed. It is a rare day that I (or any other space alien) can see bullet holes at 1K. Mirage is just nearly always too much for that. Flourite is principally used to improve color transmission. Color is very in helpful in "seeing". As the light goes bad an 88 is better than an 82 all other things equal and don't let anybody tell you different. The Kowa is heavy to pack and that is good cardio exercise for those of us who don't get enough. [/QUOTE]
