HNTNGUY Report post Posted March 19, 2018 Hey Cliff- I have both 12 HD’s and 15 HD’s if you want to set them up and look through them. Not sure where you are located but you are welcome to do so. Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossislider Report post Posted March 19, 2018 Day 4 without my 15s. Sellers remorse is slowly creeping up on me. Am I going to be fine glassing for coues with 12s instead of 15s? Absolutely. 12s and a good spotter is THE way to go. I'm also running 12x50 ELs with a Vortex Razor 85 spotter. Great setup, I've never needed more for anything. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great setup, I've never needed more for anything. Right now I carry el range 10s on my chest with swaro 65 spotter and 15s. My plan is to carry 12s on chest and tripod and have my spotter. Seems simple enough. I think there will be times glassing for coues Im going to kick myself in the a$$ for getting rid of the 15s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the extra clarity of the ELs, you will still find anything you would have found with the 15s. The spotter is there to get a better look at those animals you find way out.

Thats what got me into this mess haha. LOL, I have several buddies who have made the expensive mistake of looking through my 12 ELs. DON"T DO IT if you are happy with what you have and aren't willing to start saving to drop some serious cash. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjl2010 Report post Posted March 19, 2018 I always thought the glass was a little better in my el range 10x42 than my 15hd but I just felt like 10 power was lacking a little when picking apart those deep canyons. Then I looked through the 12s and they were pretty impressive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then I looked through the 12s and they were pretty impressive Biggest thing I prefer about the 12s is the field of view. I use 12s and a Leica Televid APO 77 spotter. (The old, silver model.)

Can't remember the reason, but was told to not expect to see it anytime soon. Shame, those would be awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think maybe Matt cashell wrote something about 12 power was the most they could get out of that prism? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
