Most people do not actually spend time behind glass. They carry it, they look through it, but they do not generally "glass". I was the same until I began guiding and scouting. The time difference spotting animals, trophies, and making it count for clients put me in the top tier glass snob level quickly. Good glass is just fine for the general population but great glass, whole different conversation.
I have Kahles 8x42 and absolutely love them.
And warranty!

I love my Leupold BX-4 HD. I would consider the BX-5 if I were buying new now.

I see you posted a link for GPO equipment. I've been looking for posts from GPO owners/users but haven't seen much. Are there any guys out there with GPO experience that are willing to share?Hard to beat:

Yup, but always a hot topicHopefully you all realize the OP hasn't been back on this forum since May 2021. Maybe he figured out what he wanted to buy by now??
I needed to upgrade my vision. Had trouble counting points on antlers at distance. I went with Vortex Crossfire HD 12x50. Got it for around $150. Just got back from a white tail hunt where I observed a black bear that I ranged at 250yds and I could make out the whiskers on its muzzle. I also had a deer come out a little after official sundown (5pm where I was) so legal to shoot til 530. It was in weeds and I was able to make out everything about it that I needed to know. I am pleasantly surprised at the optics. Bright and clear. They aren't glitzy like Swarovski but they certainly did everything I needed and more. I can't say anything about ruggedness but they seem well built and have a good warranty. In 5 years I'll know something about how tough they are.
