    Hunting & Fishing Scope Size

    I have an old school Leupold scope on my old school rifle. I need to get scope covers for it or the scope sock but i dont know what size it is exactly. All it says on the scope is 3x9 Vari-X II Not sure how to figure out if it is a 3x9x40mm or what? How do you know for sure?

    Hunting & Fishing Bino Magnification for Big Game?

    Re: Bino Magnification for Big Game? We are going to Northern New Mexico. Not really sure about the area yet. Seems to be more rolling hills then step Mountains. I'm trying to get a map of the exact area, I'm sure 10x42 will be fine, I hope.

    Hunting & Fishing Bino Magnification for Big Game?

    Re: Bino Magnification for Big Game? I figured 10x would be good, not sure i need a spotting scope right now but it would be nice. I'm guessing a partable one, since i wouldnt be doing to much driving around, i would not think.

    Hunting & Fishing Bino Magnification for Big Game?

    What magnification and maybe some tips on Binos would you recommend for Elk/Mule deer hunting? Is a spotting scope necessary? If so, What magnification is a good all around one to get? Thanks, Eric
