Is it time for a dumb queston yet? I think so.
If one uses the 8X32 SE will he be able to resolve the same detail he might with say a 10X Pentax?
A Pentax SP in 8x43 or 10x43 will show you everything the SE will for big game hunting. I have the SP 10x43 and it's great, the Pentax ED even better, and on par with the best of the best.
