What size binos?

[Hunterjordan21]

What size binos is everybody running? 8x42,10x42,15x50, etc?
Just curious as I am saving up to upgrade for next season and wonder what everyone prefers for high country hunting and a little bit of timber company clear cuts.

I don't "run" binoculars, but I prefer to use 8x42 most often.

We have 6x32, 10.5x45, 10x40, 15x56 available.  The 10x40 & 10.5x45 are a bit better for places where it is a bit more open and/or I want a bit more power and am wiling to give up a bit of the FOV.

I run 10x50s (leupold bx3 pro guides) love them

[Skillet]

I use nikon monarch 12x56 for high country now. They are heavy, but they do double duty for me since I do not carry a spotter.  For everything else I use 10x42 now.

[Branden]

For high country I use 10x32 and 15x56 and also carry a spotter. For timberland I would use my 10x42 and 15x56.

Best all around size is probably 10x42

Ive had most sizes and have found that 10x42 works best. Leopold

I am very happy with my 8x30s paired up with 15x56s for the high country. I bring my 80mm spotter on scouting trips instead of the 15s.

10x42 is by far the most versatile for most of your hunting needs.

Inside timber and brush hunting where you are not glassing past 100-200 yards 8x42 works well. Generally light weight and wider field of view.

When you get past 10x42 the size and weight starts to increase quite a bit and the easy  carry factor goes down considerably. 

Past 10x42 and you also run the risk of not being able to hold them steady while glassing with the extra magnification.

Buy the best 10x42 you can afford and don't look back.
