I just ordered one that should be here Monday/Tuesday. The guys at the Outdoorsman said they like it better without the 1.7 magnifier.

My only problem with the btx is how do you look deep into a canyon ?? With a normal angled spotter you can angle it but with the btx wouldnt it be kinda awkward??
Love the 95 stx tho....been using it extensively the last 8 months and it continues to impress me

Check out the attached review, brings up some good point.
My only disappointment is that its not a "binocular" in other words, there is no actual depth perception. However the eye relief is amazing, and you could glass all day long.

I run them both. The extender only makes it in my pack from October on (cooler temps) if at all.

Well I received my BTX with 95mm obj on Tuesday, it was great, then yesterday the 1.7 magnifier showed up made it that much better. Awesome set-up, but going to add straight eye piece for digiscoping, think it will be just that much better, and adding 65mm obj. for packing....

Here’s a cropped digiscope pic through the STX 65 from a couple of days ago.

I took this picture through my 95 with a hand held camera at 17 miles, according to our bush pilot, who flew from the strip I was glassing from over the mountain that held the sheep and told us the distance upon his return . No BS

I cant say im really excited about this brand.
I have ATN X-SIGHT II HD 3-14x
DAY & NIGHT RIFLE SCOPE. It is the greatest optic I've ever owned! Good performance, easy to use, and the Wi-Fi streaming is amazing. Super easy to dial in, though I prefer to use more than one shot. I bought mine from
