Deer hunting last fall has reminded me how I need some extra umph to see antlers at long distance. But, my typical jaunt consists of a 1000'+ vertical climb and usually 3-4 mile hike. Size and weight are very important - to big and it stays in the truck. So I'm wondering if there is anything that is small, light and still useful? Any recommendations? I did own for a while a 50mm Minox spotter, but found that I could see better detail with my 8X binos and sold the spotter. Ones that have my attention are the Nikon and Vortex 50mm scopes. Thanks.
