I’ve tried 10x for general use but even though I primarily hunt wide open spaces I keep going back to 8x because I just can’t seem to hold the 10x steady enough without some form of rest. I use bino straps, grip the bill of my cap, use my shooting stick etc. but just get a steadier view with the 8’s. I have 12.5x for use with a tripod so my 10x generally stay home.
