I've come close to pulling the trigger on a pair of 8x30's but haven't as of yet. Which SLC are you running, 10x42?
I've been running the 7x42 for several years and love them, albeit they are tank size but that ain't a bad thing when glassing.
I'm admittedly hardheaded, having used 10x42 glass for many years, which I believe is well suited to the open country I hunt. I've been very tempted to try a pair of 7x42 like yours, or an 8x32 even, since I do have and use a spotter a lot. Have you ever felt handicapped at all? I know you kill lots of game, so I'm guessing not.
