Flying solo unit 33 2nd hunt
Hatchet Jack replied to Green Bullet's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
when i've hunted coues solo it's a huge help when i'm able to film my shot through the spotter. It's nice when the dust settles and you can immediately go to the video and see what happened and where you hit. -
Kowa 662 spotter (straight) SOLD. $450 shipped
Hatchet Jack replied to no worries's topic in Classified Ads
I’ve heard these models are very close to the 663/664 prominar models optically. If that’s the case this is a steal. The eyepiece alone is worth $250. -
I use a 701rc2, it’s the big brother to the 700. I use for my 7lb dual spotters and it’s great. Not made anymore but can find on eBay.

I’m also a big fan of meopta glass. But I do think it’s worth looking at the gpo too. I only used them looking down the street at gila outdoor but I thought they were very good and I love how sleek and light they are but still quality made.

What a deal. Heirloom quality glass. Easy on the eyes and build quality as good as any.
-
They list the fov as 236’ for the 12s. That’s on par with most high end 15s. If that’s correct then those will be a terrible option.

Mounting brackets for dual big eye spotter set ups

I made my own with $30 worth of aluminum plate for my kowa 664s. Works good and optically they are amazing. The 30x wide angle kowa eyepieces are money. -
15x Side by Side Comparison 2/16/19
Hatchet Jack replied to Flatlander's topic in Optics and tripods
I would like to hear other guys take on the 15slc hd vs 12EL. I’ve compared them a lot because I get 15x envy every now and then. To my eyes the ELs just have better detail and the extra power of the 15s isn’t as apparent because of this. Also the 12s do mid range glassing much better. Obviously the SLC are amazing glass, I just prefer the view of the ELs. For these reasons I’m holding onto my 12s but interested to hear others experiences -
Who hires a guide to kill a deer? Might as well pay somebody to pork your wife.

Is this the delux?

You could use Barska 6x 30s and still kill bigger deer than Ill ever lay eyes on.

Never looked through them but Ive heard the kowa genesis line is very good, but I think the 12x you speak of are a step down. Id have a hard time thinking they are anywhere near the meopta. Im a big fan of meopta glass and believe the only 12x that tops them are ultravid and of course the EL.

they are fun to try and judge, I still suck at it. Remember, mass hides length. And get at least 2 angles on them because curved cutters will look short from certain angles.
