About 10 years ago, I bought a set of 10x Leica's from Doug to go Mule Deer hunting in Wyoming. After a couple of years, I sold them and bought a set of Swaro EL in 10X. After a couple more years, I picked up a used 7X Swaro SLC that is a 30mm or somewhere around there. One of the son's uses them and I now use a 8X SLC again with the 30 something objective. The EL's haven't been out of the safe for about 4 years now (won't sell them) as the smaller SLC 8X fits my hunting to a tee. I still hunt timber that is some old growth so I can occasionally see well over 100 yards. Occasionally I will hit the fringes of the timber to check out the fields, the 8X are more than adequate for me to 600 yards on our whitetails.
