I'd bet 97% of guys hiking in the back country do not carry an 80 mm scope, and even if you gave them a free one, they would leave it at home...FS
Fully agree, I find most days I get boiled out with mirage and never get a chance to use the top end of my 25-50x eyepiece. Its never my 65mm objective that seems to be the problem.
