Jeff, As an aside to the thread. We used to have a bunch close by. Not so much any longer, and it entails a 2hour drive to get to many birds. Not ready to throw in the towel, so we do it.
The 6x42 is a great all-round scope in my opinion, and enough here with experience use it successfully that you will not get any argument from me. However, there are times I prefer something else.
