Txhunter1 Report post Posted June 23, 2016 Have a decent pair of 10x42s and was thinking about either getting nice new ones or keeping those around my neck and getting some 15x56s on a tripod? Any input or other suggestions would be great! Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goinhuntn Report post Posted June 23, 2016 I carry 10x42 around my neck, 15x56s in my pack & use with a tripod. I also carry my spotting scope in my pack. I know it adds extra weight, but I would rather have it than not!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glass is one area where the saying you get what you pay for is true. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted June 23, 2016 Same here as most. 10x42 in a harness all the time, 15x56 and a GOOD mount and tripod in the pack. Glass from 100 yards to 2+ miles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oz31p Report post Posted June 23, 2016 I have 12x50el around my neck and then glass with them off a tripod for every thing I hunt. If you cant judge an animal with a good set of 12s your too far to do any thing about it any way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesFanatic Report post Posted June 23, 2016 I have Swaro 10's and a Swaro spotter. I've used Swaro 15's a lot and I prefer 10's and a spotter. Try glassing a 300-400 yard away hill with 15"s, your field of view is very limited. I've found lots of deer with 15's but many are too far away to get to before dark.

AZbowhntr Report post Posted June 23, 2016 If you have decent 10s already I would definitely get the 15s. I am like most of the other replies and carry my 10s around my neck and my 15s in my pack. However I have all of the attachments that I need to glass with my 10s too depending on the distance. I have 10X50s so I have an awesome field of view.

mattys281 Report post Posted June 23, 2016 I've never done it before, but I hear there are some companies that actually rent high end optics now. If it's not something your going to use very often, save yourself a bunch of cash and just rent a set-up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brian390 Report post Posted June 23, 2016 A friend of mine bought the 15x56 vortex vultures and I believe that they were 500 bucks. When I looked through them I thought that it was really good glass for 500 bucks and it would save you a lot of money. The only difference negatively that I noticed with the vultures was that the field of view was smaller compared to the 15x56 Swarovski's, but I could still see pretty good with them. The vultures are also smaller in size compared to the Swarovski's so they would be lighter to carry around. That's just my opinion from trying them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
