I recently picked up the 15's and love them. I don't carry a spotter so I wanted as much power as possible and with the SLC HD's I can determine if a deer is a buck or doe from a pretty good distance. Counting inches doesn't matter to me. That being said you can't really go wrong with either. The 12x's I looked through were light and crisp but I still wasn't sure how steady I could hold them, add in the FOV, which is better than the 15x's, but not as good as my 8x's, lead me to the 15x's. If you buy from the big retailers I think you can still return them after a month or 2 which gives you the best chance to try one, or both out, and determine which you liked more. Maybe you'll end up with both.

Recently bought a new set up from the guys at Ross Archery and I love it. I ended up with a hoyt nitrum turbo flinging 428g arrows 306 fps. Everyone at Ross was awesome and extremely helpful. Best customer service out of any of the pro shops I've been to. You can't tell who are regulars there or who are new guys wandering in,everyone gets the same treatment and respect. I'm ready for this Friday to get here already.

I'm located in the East Valley.

That's a pretty sweet deal.

I had the early cow hunt in 10 last year(mid to late October) and there were a few bulls still screaming early on but by the end of the hunt they were done.

I'm an east valley guy as well, just happen to work near their shop and stopped in to check out some grave diggers and that trip sealed the deal. I would still make the drive if I didn't work out there.

Father in law is looking for a set if possible of garmin rinos. Midway has the 650 unit for 369.99 which seems like a good deal but I thought I would check here first. Thanks

12x50 vs 15x56-help me make my purchase
eagle#eyes replied to creed_az_88's topic in Optics and tripods
I got a good deal on the Swaro slc hd's. I tried to not look through them. With my eyes being so close together they were the most comfortable. I really liked the Conquest's also, but as close as i needed the eye cups it almost pinched my nose and just wasn't quite as good a fit as the swaro's. Like i had said earlier, i really wanted to try those euro hd's but cabelas never had them to compare or try. -
12x50 vs 15x56-help me make my purchase
eagle#eyes replied to creed_az_88's topic in Optics and tripods
I just picked up a new set of binoculars and thought/looked long and hard and what you are talking about. The one thing about the Meopta/Cabelas Euro's 12x is they weigh almost the same as the 15's, if weight matters to you it's something to think about. I don't carry a spotter since I'm not much of a trophy horn hunter and probably never will be so I went with the 15's. The Cabelas Euros have the smallest FOV out of the 15's I looked at also(online at least, I couldn't get my hands on any to look through). Good luck with the search. -
I'm looking to upgrade my release and have been looking at the Spot Hogg Wise guy as well as the Tru-Fire Hardcore Release Max. If anyone has any input or experience with these or any other release I should take a look at, let me know. Thanks.

Are you selling the rifle/scope to fund the new one, or are you keeping your current set up and adding to it?
-
You can't really go wrong with any of these choices. You can throw the Razors in the mix as well. I looked through the Zeiss and Cabelas Euro HD's (Meopta) in the store and in those conditions you couldn't tell a difference. Have him put his hands on them and see what feels the and looks the best to him. You can probably find used Swarovski around that price too if you are patient.
-
I appreciate the input and experience, now I just need to get some time to go try these out for myself. Thanks

You can check rokslide.com also, they generally have tons of people selling camo on there.
