I've been wanting to get a decent spotting tool for field use. I really like the vortex HD 20-60, that thing is amazing glass and very smooth with all the right features, HOWEVER it is just HUGE!!
I cant imagine wanting to cart that thing all over hill and dale just because it's the perfect tool for the job.
What I want to know is if real active duty sniper/spotters actually use these types of scopes, of if they depend more on a smaller lower powered optic like maybe that Vortex 15x monocular with the mil scale or just a 10x binocular?
Any input on <span style="text-decoration: underline">non range</span> applications (where you have to hump all your gear) would be welcomed
thanks
