Can't see myself using those ultra light bino harnesses. Great for walking around on the tops etc but no protection for the lenses if you are bush bashing or hands and knees under trees to get...

Well I just keep the 1 zero, wither I'm in the bush or on a farm or tops. I would not change my zero based on the hunt. For me with 223, 243, 358 win they are all zeroed at 200 mtr. Z
