I'm curious as to what optics everyone is using? (Brand, Model)

Riflescope?
Binoculars?
Spotting Scope?
Rangefinder?
Anything else you look through?


It'll be interesting to see. Let's hear it.

We use the Steiner Predator 10x26 for our archery hunts. Small compact, very clear and light weight. And they don't interfere with drawing a bow. We use a Leupold RX-FullDraw Rangefinders. They have TBR for archery to 175 yds. In bow mode and for rifle read out to 800yds.

1978 Bushnell 15x45 Spotter!

Been Beat for years!

Still works!

You don't need a SWARO to see the PISSCUTTERS of today!

Rolled Her down the Road a few times over the years!

If it woulda been a SWARO youd'a been mad!

Wow, you guys have some rich blood.

Binos - 8xs are pass downs, don't even know the name
Binos - 16x50s Nikon Action Extreme - they seems to be the best cheap ones I could find over the years.
Rangefinder - Wildgame Innovations baby!

Although I have gone the cheapo route, I think I've done pretty good for myself. I only archery hunt so I don't need $$$$ scope or range finder much. I did have a huge problem with my crappy cheap black friday sale range finder this year archery hunting. I had opportunity at a 4x and a 3x within 10 minutes of each other, walked right past me at different angles in a cut, but there was some thick fog, and no matter what I did, the reading would come back with the minimum distance, like 8 yrds, because of the fog. I missjudged and missed both bucks... So I'll probably upgrade in that department. Do the high end RFs work through the fog, anybody know?

Theodore Roosevelt's guidance concerning
conservation...
"The movement for the conservation of wildlife,
and the conservation of all our natural resources,
are essentially democratic in spirit,purpose and
method."

"We do not intend that our natural resources shall
be exploited by the few against the interests of the
majority. Our aim is to preserve our natural
resources for the public as a whole, for the
average man and the average woman who make
up the body of the American people."

"It is in our power...to preserve game..and to give
reasonable opportunities for the exercise of the
skill of the hunter,whether he is or is not a man of
means."
