My Steiner 20x80 weigh 70 ounces that’s 4 1/3 lbs.
Why word, can a feller see well with them...and far! It’s easy to spot game in the mountains that is way too far to get to in a full day of walking. They fail at really seeing small details though they’re not as powerful as a spotting scope so for sheep hunting it might not be ideal. They find their way into my pack quite often and I’m totally comfortable with using them without a tripod as they don’t really shake.
I guess if they were Swarovski Quality in that size the better glass might put them into a position to replace both spotting scope and binoculars. They definitely excel in low light and I can Clearly see elk antlers in moonlight, that’s a big plus.
If you’re in Calgary and want to take a peak through them let me know.
