[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1558718, member: 70559"] I probably had half a dozen spotting scopes. Let my son-in-law take his pick and sold the rest. I use 7X binoculars for finding game. There's no way a bino can help me when I need more than 7X. A few years ago I decided to "trophy" hunt. I wanted a blacktail with four on each side wider and taller than the ears. It was early morning. I found a candidate in the binos and could immediately tell the horns were wider and taller than the ears. The binos dropped to their place on my chest. I turned up the z5 Swarovski till I verified the points and fired. Then I looked at the magnification setting: 12X. Another time I found a buck, but could not verify it was legal. I slowly turned up the magnification. When I verified, I fired. Then I checked the setting: 10X. Variables are really nice. [/QUOTE]
