weekends for an upcoming elk hunt. I'm headed out tomorrow for another one. I've been able to spot up multiple bulls and some nice bucks at extremely long distances (2-3+ miles?) and get decent video footage of them. I think it cost me around $1000 with tax, but that was at a big box retailer that isn't known for having great prices. It's definitely no Swaro, but it has performed reasonably well for what it is and it was what I could afford. All in all, I'm happy with it but I knew it's limitations and warts going in. Especially when comparing it to the Razor, for which I could not justify the extra cost.

Beware, it is A LOT larger and heavier than one would think. It's a big hunk of glass. As such, expect to spend a fair amount of coin on a decent tripod.
