I've been eyeing these too.. Debating between the 2-12x42 (Length = 12.5", weight = 16.8 oz) and the 3-18x44 (Length = 13.5", weight = 20.4 oz). I currently won't shoot past 400-500 yards, and spend a fair amount of time hunting timber on the Westside. Any thoughts/suggestions? That price on B&H for the 3-18 is the best I've seen for either.
