Got a great pair of Leupold 6x30 on the 24. Love them in the brush. Have 8x42 in the house and pole barn and treated myself to Zeiss 10x32. Love them for distance when spring woodchuck hunting and weight is perfect.

I was just scanning the horizon with my 8x42's and picked up a vulture that couldn't be seen with the naked eye, and wonderin how much clearer and closer up I could've seen him with 10x42's.
Everything is a compromise though. Weight and size with the 42's. FOV with the 10x. Magnification with the lower powered bino's. And exit pupil with the lightweights.

I’ve got 8x30 Swarovski SLC, 6.5x32 Minox, and 10x50 Pentax. The Swaros are my general purpose, go anywhere binos that have served me very well on international or western trips where I only wanted to deal with one. The Minox have become my favorite for turkey hunting or woods hunting for deer on my Mississippi property. The Pentax are reserved for late evenings when deer hunting over fields. The deer usually come out only at last legal light. You have to check bucks for antler restrictions — 13” main beam or 10” inside spread in my zone.

Been using a good set of Steiner Hunting 7X50 for some years but they're getting dated. I want to try the 8x30's for an all round binocular. powdr
