Personally, I don't think you need one for hunting under 600 yards. 600 has always seemed like that magic number to me where once you get there and beyond you really need to have your ducks in a row to make a good shot. For what it's worth I have an articulating flatline ops level on my long...

I have a Tikka T3 in 308. It really likes the factory loaded Berger ammunition with the 168 classic hunter. It'll shoot .75 moa all day and I'm pretty sure it'd do better than that except I run a 1-6 razor on it and 6x is a lot lower than I'm used to. It's never had a problem dropping a...

Not exactly made for long range, but I'm having a hard time finding any 5.7x28 SS198 ammo. If anyone has any that they would part with, please let me know. I'm looking for 500 rounds or so. I'd also be interested in any Elite Ammunition S4M, T6B, or Devastator. Thank you!

I've got a NXS in 3.5-15 on mine and it works great. I'll admit though that I sometimes consider selling it and putting a 2.5-10 NXS on it just so I can have a wider field of view. The only time I've ever used 15x on that rig is when I'm shooting paper. Plus I'm pretty sure the 2.5-10x42 I'm...

I can't speak for the crossfire, but I have used a VX-1 and I was pretty disappointed when the sun started going down. You could always sell that Benchmade and put that in your scope fund;) lol. I'm kidding, I've got four of them I sometimes think of selling but haven't been able to part with...

Man that was great information. I actually had a chance to look through some glass today but the only thing available was the EL and SLC.

Have you by chance ever had the opportunity to compare it to the EL or Noctivid, particularly in low light conditions?

That would be great. I'd really like to know what you think between the HT and SF, especially at dusk. I wish you had the SLC laying around to compare that to them haha. I figure on at least looking through one bino with the field flattener lenses, whether it's an SF or an EL will probably...

I've heard the Victory HT is the brightest you can get, but I've also heard that it doesn't have quite as good of contrast as the swarovski models. It makes me wonder if even though they are brighter you might not be able to pick up animals in thick trees as well or make out a deer rack as easy...

That's good information. I'm really glad to hear that about the warranty. It's great to know they'll take care of you. I've generally spent my funds on getting high end scopes and settling for low end to mediocre binoculars. After hunting the other day and seeing a buck near dark and not being...

The rolling is what concerned me with the EL and the SF and Noctivid. I figured I'd at least look through the EL in the store but I wasn't sure if it would show up in those conditions. I've read great things about the Leica but I've seen several people claim they appeared darker than the swaro...

I have a Flatline Ops articulating level on my LR rifle and I love it. It's great because it folds out of the way so it won't get caught on stuff, but it's not cheap.

That's where I've found most of my information on these binoculars is the birding forums. That's why I was hoping to get some input here from the hunting crowd. The bird crowd are more concerned with close focus and color depth versus things like low light capability and the contrast it seems. I...

Funny you mention that about your friends binoculars as I'm upgrading my BX 3 Mojave haha. Actually I had the pleasure of looking through some EL range binos a couple years ago and they were great. I have a G7 though so I plan to get regular binoculars. Thanks for the reply!
