Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Favorite 8x32's?

Thanks gents.

I have swaro 10x32 EL. and have looked at the 8x32.
Both are very good

The Best Out There,,IMHO,,,
Or should I say my favorite!

I'm po. I like my Leo Yosemite's. They show me the deer in front of me.

I hear what you're saying. I used the HPG chest purse for the first time this archery season and loved it, but only had my LRF in there and no binos. A 21 ounce bino around the neck would suck, but I don't know if the chest purse is the right solution.

Never used the RYO boob straps, but spent some time talking to the DIL at a hunting show about them.

How are you guys who use the Rick Young Harness keeping the dangly bits of the harness on your back from snagging on stuff? Cutting it off and keeping the harness at one length? I bought one several years ago off of recommendations here, and after the excess cordage became ensnared in brush and what not for about the twentieth time, I tossed the harness, deciding it was the binocular version of a butt out tool.

Leica or Swaro. The new issue Swaros have improved over the original EL. Try both, if you can, I could live with either. Both top of the line.

The RY harness looks like the ticket. Thinking would cut some get a couple of them & cut the excess off one for fall & one for winter. Maybe. I like the way he secured them with the strap over the objective. That is an issue with the Crooked Horn flipping up the bino. One thing is for certain--I don't wear a bino strap around my neck...sheit can happen on inclines...

I have the pre-HD and HD models of 8x32 Meostars. Both can easily be used with glasses and give a full FOV with the eye-cups spun down.

On-board LRF has become a crutch to me so I don't have the experience with L/Z/S pure binocs to give an accurate representation about how the Meopta's stack up optically.

Until something comes along that makes these look like they are broken I shall be staying with them.

I'm with JStuart, Zeiss 8 x 32 FL's. The Kowa 8 x 33 Prominars are really nice too.

I ordered one even with that reservation in mind. I'm thinking separating the loose end would cure thing hanging issue.

*SMFH* JeffO with a Nosler box?
Tuck it beneath either side of left/right shock chord at back if it's getting in the way.

I found the best solution was to just use a bino harness that doesn’t have a bunch of dangly [bleep] hanging off of the back. FHF Harness for the win.

Interesting the turns the discussion takes.

At the price I couldn't help but try the Rick Young. It also looked like the best option that could be used with the HPG bag that I'm a fan of. Should be here soon and ML opens next weekend so it will get a go.

Back to the 8x32's......so many recommendations. Suggestions on 8x32's that are no good?.

Got the RYO strap in today and I think they will work fine with my HPG kit bag. My 8x30 Swaro's ride on top of the bag or I can since the bag up and bino's will ride below the bag.

Being on a budget I was lead to the Sightron SII Blue Sky 8x32 Binos model number SIIBL832 . I am happy with this purchase and use these binos for everything I hunt.
Lotsa better binos out there, but for the money I spent they are good to go for me.

I have the 8x32 Ultravid HD for the reasons you said. Light weight, compact, and crazy good optics. I am lucky to have a choice of alpha glass, and the 8x32 are my go to.
I had Swaovski 8x30 SLC, and these are much better in my opinion.

Nikon Premier 8x32. Nikon binos don't get much attention on hunting forums, but always get good reviews on birding forums. I've had Leica, Swaro, Vortex, Steiner, Minox and others but always come back to the Nikons.


Oh, yeah, and always with the Rick Young Outdoors bino harness.
