[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 1100939, member: 34084"] For your needs, I would recommend a 10X-12X bino, depending on your eyesight and ability to carry a load. Steep hiking at high elevation with a pack, rifle and other gear dictates a compromise on all gear to keep weight down. If your eyesight is good, a 10x40 bino is lighter than a 12x50 bino, which is much lighter than a 15x56 (my favorite for glassing). If you have eyesight issues, you may need the higher 12X magnification. If you have astigmatism, buy a bino with a long eye relief and use correction when glassing to get the most out of your bino. Keep your optics clean and use a rest, preferably a light tripod. [/QUOTE]
