Swarovski NL PURE 14x52 or other NL Bino, have or used - your opinion, any comments? thx in advance
No, the glass is super clear - sometimes with the SLC's you will get some weird distortions with heatwaves - I did not notice anything like that with the NL's but honestly, I have not spent but a couple days behind the glass.- Bighorn191

That was a ram I took 2 years ago in Sonora...in December, I went with a buddy who was trying to complete his Grand Slam - he took a nasty fall on day 3, broke his arm and the hunt was over...in fact I was glassing a ram with the NL's when I got a call on the radio that he had fallen and busted...- Bighorn191

I carried a pair of NL 14x52's in December with me on a sheep hunt in Sonora. Mated up with a RRS tripod they were pretty incredible for some medium to long range glassing. They replaced some 15x56 SLC's I had for years. I think the glass is beyond compare of anything I've looked through...- Bighorn191

Hunted sheep with South Nahanni in 1999 and fell in love with the country! At that time, I could have added a caribou to my hunt for $2500. I've shot 5 but my son hasn't been yet so we figured it's now or never. Best of luck with your hunt and hope you smash a giant!- Bighorn191

So Bye-Bye Miss American Pie
He's chasing a list of NA big Game so a Kudu instead of a Caribou doesn't really work...but yes, I agree, $52k will go a long way in Africa. I'm heading to SA myself in June to blow some money.- Bighorn191

So Bye-Bye Miss American Pie
I've been hunting CO and a few other nearby states for a long time and I think one of the big things that changed everything was the advent of publications/scouting publication services like the Huntin Fool. When that thing came along, it was as if anyone and everyone could hunt other states and...- Bighorn191
