RE: Outfitting a rifle and yourself for a western (WY) hunt?
As others have commented, I agree that the Banner scope is lacking in performance. Would it do the job? Sure, but a good scope will last a lifetime. I have a Nikon ProStaff on a muzzleloader and side-by-side, the Nikon blows the Bushnell away. So I made a trip to Cabelas today and ended up coming home with a Leupold VX-I with the LR (long range) Duplex. The rifle is at a gunsmith right now having a new trigger installed w/ 3.5 lbs. of pull weight.
I looked at the Cabela Euro binocs and they were pretty sweet! I need to save a few more pennies and wait for another sale before I go for those.
