The Expert Mountain Hunting Bundle (Large) is engineered for serious hunters tackling steep, unforgiving country where every decision, and every ounce in the pack, matters. From backpack sheep and goat hunts to high‑country elk and mule deer, this bundle combines lightweight construction with rock‑solid performance so you can move hard, climb higher, and still make the shot when it finally comes together.
At the rifle, the Z5i+ 2-10x42 BT delivers an ideal blend of compact size, ultra‑light weight, and real‑world mountain capability. The 2–10x magnification range covers close, fast shots in broken timber and more deliberate, mid‑range shots across basins or chutes. Its bright 42 mm objective and illuminated reticle help you stay on target in the dim light of early mornings and late evenings high on the mountain. The 30 mm main tube offers increased adjustment range, while the newly designed ballistic turret—with color-coded rings, locking mechanism, and zero‑stop—lets you preset key distances for your load and dial quickly and confidently on steep, angled shots.
For primary glassing and ranging, the EL Range 10x32 is purpose‑built for rough terrain and long climbs. At just 24 oz, it keeps your optics weight to a minimum without sacrificing the sharpness and contrast you need to judge animals, pick out tines against rock, or read subtle body language across a canyon. Integrated range and angle measurement help you account for steep uphill and downhill shots, while customizable ballistics in the app let you tailor the system to your rifle. The built‑in Tracking Assistant helps you relocate the shot area after the trigger breaks—huge in cliffy, complex terrain where one step can change your perspective completely.
To reach even farther and confirm fine details, the STC 17-40x56 spotting scope adds serious glassing power in an ultra‑compact package. Its straight‑view design, short length, and sub‑kilogram weight make it easy to carry in any mountain pack. The clever half‑shell design lets you brace it on a rock, pack, or ledge and still run the focus and zoom dials freely, which is invaluable when you don’t have room—or time—for a full tripod setup. From counting rings on a ram to verifying legal antler points on a distant ridgeline, the STC gives you the reach you need without weighing you down.
To keep your binoculars secure and accessible when you’re side‑hilling, crawling through shale, or climbing through deadfall, the BH bino harness holds your EL Range tight to your chest and protected from the elements. Ergonomic, padded straps and the X‑back design spread the load comfortably under a pack, while the magnetic front closure lets you open and close the harness quietly with one hand. Your binoculars stay clean, dry, and out of the way—yet ready the instant you catch movement on a distant skyline.
For even more stability on long glassing sessions, the FRR forehead rest for EL Range 32 creates a three‑point contact system that dramatically reduces shake. It aligns your eyes perfectly with the optics, cuts fatigue, and helps you maintain a rock‑steady image when you’re locked onto a bedded ram or bull across a deep basin. In thin air and swirling winds, that added steadiness can make the difference between guessing and knowing.
Together, these components form a cohesive, mountain‑ready optics system: light enough for brutal climbs, tough enough for real weather, and precise enough for steep, challenging shots. The Expert Mountain Hunting Bundle (Large) is built for hunters who demand confidence in their glass when there are no easy second chances and the only way out is the way you hiked in.
