The Essential Mountain Hunting Bundle (Large) is purpose-built for hunters who push deep into high, rugged terrain and demand gear that’s as tough and adaptable as they are. Long climbs, thin air, and sketchy weather leave no room for heavy, unreliable kit—this bundle focuses on lightweight, rock-solid optics that help you make the right call when there are no easy second chances.
At the rifle, the Z8i 1.7–13.3x42 delivers the perfect blend of wide field of view and precision magnification for real mountain scenarios. At low power, it excels in tight, brushy benches or fast shot windows, while the 13.3x top end gives you the detail to place steep, downhill or cross-canyon shots with confidence. Its bright 42 mm objective and high light transmission keep you in the game at first and last light, and the ergonomic, redesigned cockpit makes dialing or changing illumination fast and intuitive with cold hands or gloves. Paired with the BTF ballistic turret flex, you can set up custom holds for your mountain rifle and quickly dial known distances without guessing, whether you’re shooting across a shale slide or into a high saddle.
For primary glassing, the EL Range 10x32 cuts weight without sacrificing performance—ideal for long days side-hilling and climbing. These compact rangefinding binoculars offer crisp, detailed views and reliable range and angle measurement so you can account for steep uphill or downhill shots. Their lightweight 32 mm design helps keep your pack ounces down while still giving you the edge you need to judge mule deer, elk, or sheep in broken rock, snowfields, and high basins. The integrated Tracking Assistant helps you relocate the point of impact after the shot, a huge advantage in cliffy, complex terrain where landmarks can disappear the moment you move.
The ST Balance 14–35x50 brings the power of a spotting scope with the freedom of true handheld use—no tripod required. Advanced image stabilization locks the image solid the moment you hit the button, letting you pick apart far-off ridges, verify legal horns or antlers, and read the wind without setting up extra gear on a narrow ledge or in high winds. Its compact, straight-view design and 50 mm objective make it easy to pack and quick to deploy, giving you steady, high-magnification views even when you’re braced on a rock or sitting on a steep slope.
To keep your critical glass protected and instantly accessible, the BH bino harness rides close to your chest as you scramble through rocks, deadfall, and scree. The ergonomic straps and padded back panel spread weight for all-day comfort under a pack, while the magnetic front flap lets you open and close the harness quietly with one hand. Your EL Range stays shielded from dust, rain, and impacts, yet is always ready the moment you spot movement on a distant skyline or in a shadowed chute.
From backpacking for sheep and goats to chasing high-country elk or mule deer above timberline, this bundle is tuned for serious mountain hunters who prioritize light weight, stability, and precision. The Essential Mountain Hunting Bundle (Large) gives you a cohesive optics system that helps you find, judge, and ethically take game in some of the toughest country on earth—then do it again, season after season.
