I like 7-8x compacts for walking around, full sized 10x for sitting or glassing from camp / truck. I dropped my old cheap-assed Nikon 8x20s 2 years ago in ML season and bent them beyond repair. They weren't great but they got the job done. Last year I hadn't gotten around to replacing them so I lugged my old LEupold 10x42 gold rings .. optically incredible but heavy. I picked up a Leica monovid a while back and I really like it think it's fine for handgun / muzzleloader / iron-sighted rifle hunting and maybe adequate for regular rifle hunting in timber, but I'd like to have a pair of compact 8x 'nocs again.


Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.

Here be dragons ...
