RE: Just an honest question....
In fading light or looking into shjadows is where the good ones shine. I used to have a pair of 10x42 Bushnell Trophy's. Looking at some deer one evening I could see the rack on a buck out in the field with them. Then I looked with my 8x30 Swars and counted the points.
That was some years ago, back when I got my Swars for $650. But there is a marked difference between them. I gave the Trophy's away.
By the way. Cabelas isn't cheap. Most of their prices are retail.
