My buddy and I have set up a longrange blind in S. Tx where I have been exposed to the best binos I have ever seen (Zeiss ClassiC 10x 40) I have always put my money in scopes (Nightforce) but now I see that good glasses are really a help, espicially in early morning spotting and managing of our herd. I have my purchase narrowed down to three binos: Zeiss 10 x40 ClassiC $650
Zeiss 10 X 40 Victory $800
Pentax 10 X 40 DCF/WP $$400
Does anyone have experience with two or more of these? Main concerns are light gathering and clarity. Love the price of the Pentax and the fact that they come with tripod mount ($120 from Zeiss) but not if they don't gather light. Also wondering if there is a $150 difference between the ClassiCs and Victory Thanks guys
