When all is said and done my favorite pair to grab and go is the old Vortex 6.5x30. I do a fair amount of hunting and spotting. The worst thing I did for a hunt was take a pair of 10x42's. The smaller FOV made them about useless on an elk hunt south of Cody WY. I'll take a lower power 99% of the time. Carry a spotter and tripod for the rest.</p></blockquote><p></p>
