[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 61761, member: 8947"] I have been using the ATB 8X for a few years now and am very happy with them. They are now dirt cheap so my best bang for the buck. are they as good as the mega buck Euros, of course not. Are they good enough to hunt with and glass effectively out to 1KM? They work for me. Excellent low light performance and resolution. so let's say they are 90 to 95% the performance of the big boys. $1000 is worth a bit of edge fuzziness. Not as flat when panning but since I usually look at an area then move to another, this has not posed any problems. Compact and lightweight. So far, weather resistant under some pretty heavy snow. Here is another gem. Just picked up the Action EX in 12X50. Better coating and the same style of glass as the ATB. All I can say is WOW. Great resolution, clarity, and colour. Even under foggy conditions had no issue defining thin branches on a hillside 2KM away. Branches are well under 1". Yes, I have visited the hillside to measure. Would a high mag Swarovski be better? I hope so but these would be able to spot all the game I want at that range. Switch to a good spotting scope for final judging and leads away. How much? How about $145 delivered. Insane...
