If you had to pick....
Would you go with one set of top quality binos in something like an 8x42 Ultravid?
Or, would you go more to something like a 6.5x-7x30-32ish small bino and a larger set, say 10x-12x50-56ish in the pack?
Why?
What are you hunting?
Eventually? Everything.
Right now, anything I can find in the Southeast.....
ONE high quality pair of 7x30, 8x30 or 8x32. Zeiss, Swarovski or Leica. I wouldn't go 10x or a 40 or 42mm obj. You will never regret a 30 or 32mm objective east of the Mississippi.
End of the hunt. If you want to spend some more cash on a cheaper pair AFTER you get the high end ones, then get some of those Leupold's.
As you know, high end binos are money well spent. You can use these 365 days a year and will get tons of enjoyment out of them.
Oh yea, IMHO.
