There are a ton of options in your price range! If you like the Vortex Vipers, you should LOVE the Vortex Razors. They are far better binoculars and have the open-hinge design like Swarovski ELs. Call the Outdoorsmans (800-291-8065), a sponsor of this site, and a company that is owned by...

+1 for the Zeiss... but I haven't used the Leica HD in the field. I was very impressed with the first-push ranging on the Zeiss, and the optical quality was excellent. With an 8x45, 8x56, 10x45, and 10x56 you have lots of options! Call the Outdoorsmans, a sponsor of this site, at...

I have used the SnipePod almost exclusively for nearly 15 years. I have shot most of my big game animals off it and have watched new hunters shoot their first animals off it. Just last weekend after using it on an antelope hunt in NM with Zeiss (shot my antelope from a sitting position at 275...

I may sound like a broken record, but go with the ZEISS! Call the guys at the Outdoorsmans at 800-291-8065. They are longrange shooters and varminters... plus they sell Zeiss!

Loves2Hunt - Check out the Monster Fanny from Badlands. It should be all you're looking for! terjeness - Both the Eberlestock and the Outdoorsmans will allow you to haul in your gear and pack out your meat. Due to the rigid structure of each, neither will convert to a "nice little day pack"...

I have used the J107 for a couple years. It's a great pack with plenty of adjustment, both in the waist and the shoulder height. I don't use a Harris, but yours should fit just fine. When you are in the market, give the guys at the Outdoorsmans a call (800-291-8065). They carry Eberlestock...

Take a look at the Kowa TSN-660 series. The 60mm objective, combined with the quality of the glass and 26oz weight makes a great backpacking spotting scope. The Outdoorsmans, one of the sponsors of this site, sells them for $810. If you can sacrifice a little more money and weight, look at...
