I'm pretty sure I have some 15x56 Swarovski's if you're interested. I'd have to get my buddy to take pics of them as I moved my gun safe up to his place when I was in Kenya. They're an older model, but they worked great the last time I used them.
Schnees...been wearing them over 20yrs--hunted elk and muleys in the mountains of Idaho, Nevada and Montana-- antelope in Montana, caribou in the Northwest Territories, blacktails and pigs in CA and whitetails in Nebraska, and I've never been let down....virtually very little break in time in...
It's the best(by a good margin) of the two I've tasted, with Wicked being the other one. I agree I would only want to drink a couple at a time well maybe 3-4, but I doubt I'd drink more.
congrats----ol' Bill Gibson--wow I/we hunted with him twice back 20yrs or so ago....love the Ruby's, but I never shot anything, but that's cuz I was picky....

I have their 8 man tipi and 4 guys with all their backpacking gear fit in it. If you store your gear outside then more guys can sleep in it. they also sell stoves that work great and come apart for packing easily.
some great critters you got there---I grew up outside of Valley(Kings Lake), that's why I asked where you are from. Fellow Nebraskan, well I was once, but still hold to that being my home.
you can't go wrong with McManus, as he really hits the nail on the head with a lot of us--I think I have all of his books also, but still need to read the latest two.....chris
I have had the geovids 15x56's for a 5 years and love them and I've had the swaro's 15x56's(non-range-finding) for about 8-10 years and love those also, but the Leica's are my first choice due to rangefinder….both have great glass….chris
