after a long line of budget and pawn shop spotters i finally get to step up to good glass. within minutes of setting it up in the back yard, I was counting elk. I'm stoked. ![[Linked Image]](http://i399.photobucket.com/albums/pp78/1sikpupi/001_zpsy1fc30xo.jpg)

toad,
Yeah, those'll make a difference. Glad to see you'll be able to see!

Not wrong at all. It shows you have your priorities in order. Many times my old truck carried guns and optics that were worth a lot more than it was. Dink

Good glass will last a lot longer than a truck.

Very nice!! I only took a few short glances through my buddies Swaro this past week hunting elk. Any more and I get really envious and don't even want to use my stuff. Those 15X56 binos on a tripod are almost like magic for finding stuff...

Swarovski ATX 30-70X95mm spotter with an extra 65mm objective lens. this is a 'modular' system where you can change the objective lenses instead of the eyepiece. ![[Linked Image]](http://natur.astrosweden.se/public/img/user/Swarovski_atx_banner.jpg) SWAROVSKI ATX

I'm no expert, but Big Stick and ScenarShooter both use Ziess spotters, so I doubt they suck.
