8x 0r 10x binos?

[#49]

What is everyone preference as far as bino power 8x42 or 10x42s as far as all arund huntings binos?

[Gilmore]

This one has been bashed around before and it usually ends split down the middle. I have used both and both pairs have been quality glass and I'll take the 8x everytime. Easier on your eyes when glassing for extended times and better field of view with the 8x. The best glasses I have ever looked through are my buddies 8x42 Swaros, they might actually be 8.5, either way they are unreal.

I have and use my 6X more than my 8 X when hunting close range.

I use my 10 X more than my 8 X on med to long range.

The 8X seem to be used for birding around the ranch a good mix for short range and med range.

10 X 50, better to have too much glass than not enough...

If you buy quality glass 10x is not hard on the eyes.

[moosegoof]

same as rocksteadys comment

[islandhunter]

I definitely would go 10x

[huntcoop]

I use 10x50 and love them.

10 x 42 .........They work good

[shantz]

Rocksteady nailed it. Go with the 10x.

Go into the store on a cloudy/rainy day at around 4pm and look through both. Compare them carefully. Make an informed choice that fits your particular eyes. Everyone is different.

Love my 10 powers. I take alot of pics through my binos too, and having that 10x is good for getting some longer range shots. I have the Bushnell excursions and have never had a problem.

Maybe look at 10x42's. I have a set and love'em..Vortex by the way..Good price and a VIP warranty!.

[Spitzer]

I prefer 8x, wider field of view, easy to steady image, and brighter.

[The Hermit]

I like 10X in good glass. But I tried out a pair of little buggers today Kowa 8x25 and was actually pretty impressed out to about 300 yards at dark through first light!

I think that is the correct answer.:-D

I'm planning on getting some 6 or7x small binos for stalking blacktails in thicker cover, and use my 10X LEicas for everything else..:-D
