[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2551281, member: 12443"] Grubby, looking for game while using optics requires binoculars, not a spotting scope. Preferably higher powered ones mounted on a tripod. After the game is located then a spotter can be used to confirm things including rack size. But it should also be tripod mounted. Larger binoculars in the 12 to 15 power range mounted on a tripod will eliminate the need for a spotting scope for the most part while hunting. Your neiboring state of PA has one of the largest groups of long range hunters in the entire country, and has had for decades. By far the most commonly used optics there are twin spotting scopes in brackets supported on a tripod. And the fact is you would be very surprised as to what is the most popular there for that use. My guess would be that 90 percent of the optics users have never done a true side by side test on the same day looking at the same things before deciding on the optic they bought. And unless you do you cant possibly make a good decision. I have never looked thru any optics made by Track, but from what im told by friends who have compared their large binoculars with others including Swarovski, they would for sure be on my list.
