[QUOTE="dstark, post: 928655, member: 48159"] Looking for advice choosing my next set on binoculars. I have settled on make and model, but I'm torn on which power to choose. 10x42 or 12x50. Cost difference is not an issue however these will be kinda pricey for me so I only want to do it once. Here's how I see it: 12x50 pros: More magnification 10x42 pros: 20% Lighter & slightly smaller 28ish% Larger FOV It seems like 10 power is the standard that everyone uses, and there is a size/weight and FOV advantage to them. However I don't hunt with a spotting scope and I think that the increase in magnification would be great for identifying/judging game despite the decrease in FOV. These will primarily be used for glassing elk, deer, and varmints in open mountainous areas as well as desert. What do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
