    vortex Raptor 6.5x32 or Leupold Yosemite 6x30

    Thanks! Thanks for the links, WiscTJK. I was wondering if anyone was going to reply to this one. I am still undecided as I have been focusing my attention on the Minox 15x58 ED's I just ordered. Next week I will order one or the other....maybe both and report back. Thanks, Josh

    Minox BD 15x58

    I just ordered a BD 15x58 ED today. It comes with a tripod adapter and I ordered a Vortex High Country to go along with it. These babys weigh in at 3.3 lbs, so im sure the tripod will be needed! Thanks for the great deal Doug!!! Josh

    vortex Raptor 6.5x32 or Leupold Yosemite 6x30

    I am looking for an inexpensive lightweight low powered bin to compliment the Leupold GR 8x32's I just ordered. Initially I was just going to order the Yosemite in 6x30, but recently I was able to handle one. I thought it had a very nice view in general but I also thought it was just a tad bit...

    6x - 7x hunting bin recomendation

    Yes, there are plenty of apple orchards in Wenatchee! I prefer the lower magnafication for stability of image. I've had 8x Pomaster ELX's and 10x Zen Ed's in the past. Both were great binoculars but were difficult, at least for me, to hold still for long periods. I think I will order a pair...

    6x - 7x hunting bin recomendation

    Hi Martin, Thanks for your input. My budget is around $500 or so. So far, I like the Vortex Fury 6.5x32, the Viper 6x32, the Leupold yosemite 6x30 and the Zen ED2 7x36 but really have very little experience with binoculars. My father buys nothing but Leupold for everything so I cant get an...
