I've been lookin for a "good" setup with regards to binoculars and I'm interested in what you people are leanin towards. I've done some searching and the Leupold Mojave's are climbing my list of probables. What's your thoughts?

Swarovski 10x42 or Zeiss 8x20 depending on how I am hunting.

Bushnell Legend 8 x 26 Waterproof.

I know, cheapies. But they are small, light enough I can wear them and shoot with them, and do, and they are rainproof. Also have enough eye relief I can use them with my glasses on and actually see something.

For anyplace on the eastside of the Cascades and beyond I use 8 X 42 Nikon Monarchs. For the wetside of the Cascades, where the woods tend to be dense and great distances are not a concern, I use a light pair of 10 X 28 Luepold Gold Ring binoculars.

Swarovski 10x42 EL
Said to be some of the best out there. And for the money they had better be.
Pick a size that you will use and not leave in the truck.

Pro staff waterproof binoculars by Nikon 8 X 25

These work well in a treestand waterproof and coded.

I also have a pair of buckhorn Bushnell 10 X 42
I use the Pro staff more because they're not as heavy and they are compact .

I don't think I'd leave a pair of Swarovski's behind in the truck no matter what the size.

:D

Cabela's branded 7x36, about 20 years old now. I think they were made by Redfield. Definitely got my money's worth out of them. I also have a pair of 8x42 Leupold Cascades. Am saving for a pair of topshelf glass though, likely to be Swarovski EL's or something similar.

8 x 30 Swarovskis. Best money i ever spent. 20 years old and going strong

I've been using the same pair of Zeiss 10x40's for the last 32 years...guess they must work ok for me. I do a LOT of open country spot & stalk hunting, though.

10X42 Eagle Optics Rangers. Great optics without spending a fortune.
