[QUOTE="Moman, post: 323884, member: 10494"] +1 on the Leupold 12-40 HD. Great optics. Weight is about average I think around 36-37 oz for the scope itself. The 12x has a nice field of view for close in and the 40x is good for longer ranges. Occasionally on those long days I wish it was a tad lighter but hate to sacrifice the quality of these optics. For Binos, I use the Pentax HD 10x40 and they're pretty decent. I like them a little better than the comparably priced Leupolds but not too much difference. 10x works good for me and I hike a lot along with one handed glassing when on the move. Anything higher than that would move around too much. A lot of guys even prefer the 8x but I'm sold on the 10x. One thing though, get the best quality you can afford. Clarity of the better glasses is a lot more important than magnification. [/QUOTE]
