I followed what I think was a big 4x3 muley for over 2KMs this weekend. He gave me a good shot opportunity at 120 meters but I couldn't confirm he was a 4x3 and not a 3x3.

Needless to say, I'm upset and want to upgrade my Bushnell H20 8x42 to higher quality binoculars.

Have any suggestions?

I have a decent understanding of the specs for binos but there are a lot of specs (eye relief, magnification etc.)
I'm willing to spend some money to have higher quality binos so I don't let a 4x3 walk away again.

Looking at Nikon Monarch ATB 10x56 and Leupold Olympic 10x50.

Thanks,
