Looks like your partner went leveling head and Pulsar.
Thoughts on the leveler vs. the Anvil?
Pulsar vs. Yoter?
I absolutely love the Anvil. For a hunting rifle, I doubt there's anything better. Huge range of motion, one lever that's easy to run, and it locks up tight. My brother runs one too, and loves it.
My buddy bought a new tripod recently, and the leveling head came with it. It seems nice, but it lacks range of motion up and down. I think when hunting steeper terrain, it may be limiting. I wouldn't be surprised if he had an Anvil soon.
As far as Pulsar vs Bering, I don't know... I've not personally run the Pulsar much. I know that my brother has the Pulsar Merger 640 binos, and a Super Yoter 640 scope, and he says the scope looks better. I have another buddy that runs an IRay 640 scope of some kind, and that is nice too. If I were looking, I would want:
- 640 Resolution
- 3x-ish base magnification
- Range Finder
- A decent rechargeable battery solution (like 18650s). -- Proprietary batteries are typically really expensive, and using a USB battery pack is a pain.
