Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Which Binoculars do I want for western hunting?

I have experienced a similar circumstance between lightweight bins/rifle and a heavier bins/rifle. While lightweights are easier to carry, I have found them to be harder to hold steady, especially for long range work in the wind.

Conversely heavier "tools" were easier to "hold" because the weight helped steady
the item. So there is a benefit to having a little more weight. There are always trade-offs to consider. Good luck.
