Hogwash...good low power binoculars are an excellent addition to the pack.
Absolutely. When I hunt cottonwood creek bottoms with lots of cover I like to use those 8x42's, Perfect.

Which I know you, your cottonwood creek glasses are Swarovski or Leica. Scratch that 600 buck comment

It's a relative term I guess. Heavy cover for what I'm used to hunting out here in wide open W TX. How about lots of cover but can see 150 yards or so in places?

Wow, the butthurt is rather pathetic. Never knew anyone cared that much about what I personally use.

You don’t use that off brand crap. Not when serious anyway. If you own that other junk you recommended you don’t use it on a serious hunt, it may be your wife’s or kids, but you don’t use it.’

That’s cool. I had a pair of 10x40 Zeiss Classics and 10x40 Diamondbacks. Did some side by side with them both mounted on a tripod and low light the Vortex won. Ended up with 8x40 Diamondbacks and am plenty pleased. Certainly don’t mind beating the schit out of them. Then again, I’m OK with 270’s and 30-06’s. My brother has the early version of the 10x40 Vipers and they are pretty bad ass. 8x are better in the areas I hunt, for me, anyway. Have a set of 6x Yosemite’s for my little one and they are pretty damn impressive for $75! Your mileage may vary....good luck.

Baloney. I also use Leupold Mojave 8x32's sometimes.....took them to Namibia. I don't feel the need to use 10x50 SV's in closer quarters. YMMV.

I'm confused then. Why is JG a liar relative to what he's contributed to the thread?

Since you got $$$ in PayPal, you might get more bang for your buck on eBay.
