[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 409613, member: 8833"] I will throw you a question that most people will probable think that I hit my head on a rock. WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT AGE? From personal experience - I have used a set of Swaro's 8X power for the past 25 plus years. I have went so far as to have my Swaro's sent in every 2 years for cleaning and upgrading. When I hit the big 50 things seemed to kind of start on the down hill - bifocals, straining, focusing more than I used too etc. Now am looking at going to 10X. So if you have young eyes the 8X will be more than adequate but if mother nature is creeping up you may want to consider the 10X very seriously. I have 2 sons with 10X Leupold binocs and it just drives me crazy when I say something like "there are some elk" and they respond with something like "Yea - 2 spikes and the rest cows". We use binocs in the mountains here in Montana at least 30-45 days per year with the bulk of our day glassing - so binocs are just as important as your rifle - just that we use them about 100 times more.
