Image shake and depth of field is why my 6x36's are my current favorite. Leaning heavily towards buying a new pair of 8x42's...
I appreciate everyone's input!

I just got a pair of 8x42mm Vortex Talon HDs from Cameraland's sale. AMAZING. I am admittedly ignorant on optics, but ignorance truly is bliss and after the 8x40mm porros I had previous to these I am blown away.
I like others have a compact spotter (Leupold 15-30x) I keep close by for evaluating game spotted through the 8Xs & it's worked well for me.
