Earlier I posted I purchased 10X Aplen Tetons. I bought them for my upcoming caribou hunt hunt and sheep hunt. I used to use to use 8X here in Western Oregon, but a couple years ago I switched to 7X35. I like them so much I sold or gave away all my 8X binos.
They are definitely not as good for discerning detail. The other day I found a bird on a vertical pipe about 100 yards away. I hurried went and got the Alpen 10X. Holding by hand I could tell it was not a bird, but a valve on the top of an exhaust pipe on the tractor. Ten power is better for those of us who can use it.
