[QUOTE="muleystalker, post: 1642748, member: 79944"] I had a Vortex Razor 11-33x50 for that exact purpose and returned it for the reason I stated above, too lite too small too hard to hold it steady up on the slope while glassing, especially if you get even the siltiest wind. Plus it did less than the scopes on my rifles and my 12-50 RAZOR binos, basically useless. The KOWA TSN663 Prominar doesn't weigh that much and isn't too big and is like night and day, it is a scope worth having along and is quit a bit lighter than the 77mm and 80mm+, its the minimum I would start with. I would even go the TSN600 series, which is not a prominar, before I went the 50mm. I know people who have bought the new TSN550 Prominar and said the glass is phenomenal but still sold them for the same reasons I listed above. Good luck with your choice and if you can find one to look through first, especially with a little wind, it would be to your advantage. [/QUOTE]
