so new to hunting within the last couple years and me and hunting buddy dont have any good optic for scouting, we mainly hunt waterfowl turkey and are thinking of getting in to big game. it would be nice to be able to scout field for brids during waterfowl season and scan areas for turkeys in the norhteast and south east. would also be nice to be able to use to scout for big game in the future. what magnification do you think is the best bet. 8x, 10x or 12x and lens size 42 50 or more. have been looking at the leupold(green ring?) 12x50 and the nikon monarch 12x56. any suggestions? price is close on each around $350 to $500 .

I will also encourage you to compare it to those european brands. If it does not meet your expectation, simply send it back to us within 30-day for full refundhttp://www.zen-ray.com/shop/binoculars/zened2/zened2-10x43.htmlHappy Holidays
www.binoculars.comI've got 10x42 Nikon's and will work as good as those $1000 ones. Don't get sucked into the BS. I can see as good as any of those. You only use them a few times a year anyhow. It's all hype. I looked into some $2000 Leicas this weekend and didn't see a $ 1800 difference.
