LB,
I’m glad you didn’t take my post as a flame - just wanted to point out, some of us run some tier 1 optics that work perfect for the hunts and pack-ins we do.
Your Kowa Highlanders have awesome glass, comfortable to use, and will provide an advantage on spotting game at incredible distance for anyone who has to cover big country.
I hump a lightweight Kowa TSN-553 with a MF Befree CF tripod for hiking into areas where access is strictly by boot.
Kowa makes some of the best optics a guy could buy.
I would be all over your bigeyes, at this price, if I wasn’t already running glass almost as good, but in a different setup.
Last thing...I would never attempt to belittle or take from a guy like youself who has lived a hard hunting life, doing exactly what me and my pards are still doing at this moment.
My years are numbered, and I too, will look back on my hunting career and shake my head at some of the successful hunts we accomplished, and just smile with a little pride.
Bump for a good guy selling great optics.
