I got a Vortex 10x30 for xmas and Im pretty impressed with it . Its a lot clearer and lets in more light than a lot of good binos . Im going to have lots of uses for it and wont have to carry a heavy binoculars all the time . I have a small pair of Swarovski and its better to look through than they are .

Interesting.....sounds like I need to look into this.

I have the Vortex mono also.  To me it is not as easy as binds to find what you are looking for, but with practice it isn't bad.. I carry it more than the binos because of their size and weight.

I got one years ago. I figured it would be great for hunting and could fit in a pocket.

It was the handiest thing but I had a terrible time finding anything in it. I could see the deer/groundhog/squirrel with both eyes but just couldn't pick it out with the monocular.

It's in a drawer with all my other crap that doesn't work.
Same here!   Mine is a Vortex 8x.

Thay are basically a variable power rifle scope with less eye relief.

I looked at a vortex just today and I didn't like it at all .

A low power spotting scope that can be hand held...how can that be anything but good...my Bushnell Legend has great optics at a reasonable price

I set out a while ago to reduce my herd of 40 bows...And I am finally down to 42

What about ones that expand ....like the real guys use?

     
It's a drawscope. Popular with hunters in Europe, as they weigh less and if you are proficient you don't need a tripod to use it.

I have an Optolyth fixed 25X that is nice to use, and Swarovski makes the CTS line of drawscopes that have interchangeable eyepieces.

Basically a different, more versatile version of a spotting scope.

I've got a little Brunton monocular on the end table next to me right now. I've tried to like it but much prefer binoculars any day.

I still only use a monocular.  It's cheap, light, easy to keep out of the way but still at ready-access.  It's a 10x and, like others have said, it's difficult to find stuff in it.  Often, the deer moves out of view before I can even find it in the monocular.  I think I'd prefer a 7-10x (zoom) and may pick one up some day.  But I pretty much only use it to confirm the presence of antlers while still hunting.  If I did more spot/stalk from distant ridges, I'd get more serious binoculars.
