I have a set of EL 10x42's which I love. For many of our youth/Veteran pronghorn/elk hunts, I'm continually switching between the 10x42's and my Swaro ATS 20-65. With these 15x56's, I've found my use of my spotter has been quite limited. They are heavier than I would use for a pack in hunt, but most of our hunts are vehicle based, so really not an issue. The clarity and image quality are what I've come to expect from Swaro. These 15x56's are now my "go to" and at a great Guidefitter price. Their larger size would not fit into my Sitka bino harness, so I went with the Kuiu Pro (XL).
