[QUOTE="biednick, post: 2550962, member: 123604"] I agree with the people who have recommended you look into something lighter. I love my 27-60 at the range, but I hate it in the field. I think my next optic purchase will be an 11-33 for backpack hunts. For something like a ram hunt where the magnification could mean the difference between shooting a legal ram and passing because you can't count the rings on a horn it's worth it. For something like an elk hunt it's less important. There is a huge difference optically between the Razor, Viper, and Diamondback at dawn and dusk. It's less noticable mid day, but the clarity and color get better as you go up in price. There also seems to be a minor improvement in mirage, but it's less noticable. I'm willing to bet most people who looked at them side by side and claim the Viper's on par with the Razor didn't compare them in adverse conditions. [/QUOTE]
