Depend of the scopes is more or less expensive. Is also the lighter combo. I said the best beacuse you can get low mags too.The beasts: C6 or 120 ED binoviewers ... forget about wide FOV... this is a 80x instrument.The under 1300 euros non ED binoculars:The chinese semi-apo: heavy as hell, dissapointed beyond 40x The vixen BT81: 4 kgs, not to carry with them all day long, but having a good breakfast and some rest, you can even take it to some places ...  and i think even with 80mm they are better than the chinese semi apos ... however, even the best achromatic scopes beyond 40x begin to show CASo, Kowas and docters aside, live with 40x max or 80x min, or buy to ED scopes and pair them. Some people has done, so it perfectly possible. <a href="http://forum.snipershide.com/s4-sniper%92s-hide%AE-equipment/203117-how-make-where-buy-big-eyes-double-spotting-scope.html" target="_blank">http://forum.snipershide.com/s4-sniper%92s-hide%AE-equipment/203117-how-make-where-buy-big-eyes-double-spotting-scope.html</a>There was a member forum too who made one with two nikons, let find the thread and i post it</blockquote>
