[QUOTE="whiskeysnoot, post: 1869255, member: 4542"] Don't go too small. 8x25s are fine as a backup or for keeping in a pack (I always have a pair while duck hunting) but not as your primary binocs. Notice practically all suggestions so far have been 8x42, 10x40, etc? Most are probably roof prism type. Sure, they are going to weigh around 36-38 oz. but buy a good harness like the Crooked Horn harness and you won't regret it. I've gone from $40 to $150 to $300 and am now in Steiner Peregrine XP 10x40. Every time I step up I can't believe the difference. Getting what you pay for is never more true than with optics. However, I certainly understand budgets. I bought my daughter a pair of Redfield 10x40 for around $175 and was more impressed with them than my $300 pair. Good glass for the money. [/QUOTE]
