Thanks for your thoughts guys. I have owned a 3-9 x 40 Nikon Monarch in the past and opted for the 2-7x 32 based on the field of view I would gain. Being my stand is in some fairly heavy timber the wider field of view with the 2x was a plus, but would have to sacrifice some light gathering. I guess all I can do is try, if it does not work I will have to upgrade it next year.
