When I hunt cottonwood creek bottoms with lots of cover I like to use those 8x42's, Perfect. It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Let’s spend another 600 bucks for cottonwood creek bottom glasses. Lmfao. ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~

I had a pair of 10x40 Zeiss Classics and 10x40 Diamondbacks. Did some side by side with them both mounted on a tripod and low light the Vortex won. Ended up with 8x40 Diamondbacks and am plenty pleased. Certainly don’t mind beating the schit out of them. Then again, I’m OK with 270’s and 30-06’s. My brother has the early version of the 10x40 Vipers and they are pretty bad ass. 8x are better in the areas I hunt, for me, anyway. Have a set of 6x Yosemite’s for my little one and they are pretty damn impressive for $75! Your mileage may vary....good luck.
