[QUOTE="TexasSportsman, post: 1953829, member: 115081"] You'll want to stay with a max of 10x, any more power and it won't be easy keeping the binoculars steady. I bought a Leupold BX-3 Mojave 12x50. Unless I'm steadying myself against a tree or something I can't hold the binoculars still enough. When I worked at the gun store we never carried binoculars more than 10x. That's why 3-9x10 was the standard scope magnification for decades. You could easily shoot off hand because the max 9x made it easy to hold the rifle steady. You can go with a higher power if you use a pro style tripod with binocular adapter. Then you have more equipment to carry. If you're hunting with another person it will be easier to bring additional equipment. [/QUOTE]
