[QUOTE="coyotezapper, post: 1687433, member: 20438"] HD glass and illumination will not make you a better hunter. The best hunter I know still uses a Leupold 3-9x33 compact scope that is over 20 years old. If you have the budget and want to "invest" in a VX5 then I would say yes, do it. I bought my first good set of binoculars back in the 90s - Swarovski SLCs. The salesman sold me on the idea that these would be a lifetime purchase and I would never need another pair again. Was he right? Yes and no. They were and are still very good glass and yes I could have used them very successfully the rest of my hunting career but as I got older the weight of all of my gear became more noticeable and so I wanted something lighter. The Razor HD and Mohave HD that I was looking at were a lot better image quality than the older SLC's but the SLC's still were excellent. I could still see the same amount of detail with all three. I ended up selling the SLC's and buying the Mohave HD's based on weight only and have not been disappointed. The Mohave's have been discontinued and there is even a better replacement now but there will always be something better with the way technology is. [/QUOTE]
