Got a pair of the 8X42s a few weeks back but have not done any serious scouting/hunting with them yet. Can look about 1000 yards from camp and have tried them against some old bushnell, Leupold, Steiner and Nikon binocs we have laying around camp. No question these are better, but nowhere near my Leica Geovids. But, they do not weigh what the Geovids do and I will be using them for bow hunting, where ranges are short. So far, very happy with them.
