And let's face it, you have to get closer to kill it anyway, so seeing it with 10x or 12x doesn't make much of a difference at a mile. Big country that requires antler I'd I'll bring a spotter to save boot leather. And if necessary my rifle scope hits 16x if I need to study an animal during rifle season. Clarity will outperform magnification and is more important. ImoIf I'm in "timber or other close situations" I probably won't be looking through an optic LOLWell I'm a born and raised blacktail hunter so Im stuck looking for part's of deer, an eye, ear, etc.... But even in elk country I end up in big timber...so I'm constantly picking apart the country with my binos.

I agree, no tripod or window mount on anything 12X or above and to me it's like I'm losing clarity. I have a pair 15x56's and hand holding them versus using them on a tripod or window mount it's like you're looking through two different sets of binos. Maybe this isn't the best way of describing it but to me when my 15x56's are on a stable mount the clarity seems soooo much better.My go to binos is 8.5x42 Swaro EL's and they've been excellent but I've been considering getting the new Swaro 10x42NL Pure.
Well you guys did absolutely nothing to make up my mind.
