[QUOTE="340Wby-4-everything, post: 1652730, member: 47425"] I've had Bushnells to Leupold to Swaro and several in the middle. In Swaro, I've had EL8x42, EL10x42 and EL12x50s(currently) For what you are describing, the EL 12x50 Swaro can't be beat. The EL 10x42 is equally nice, but at 1000 yds or that neighborhood, the 12 is the way to go. As Duckhunter175 said you can wear, carry or pack them and a pair of them will last multiple lifetimes. There is also an EL 10x50 now as well, but I have no experience with them and they weigh the same as the 12x50. Only downside on the 12x50 is weight is 35oz vs 29.6oz for the 10x42. 5.5oz is not much, but to me is noticeable. You would not go wrong with either, but distance viewing goes to the 12. I haven't used any of them yet, but Zeiss makes excellent optics as well, so you may want to look at their binos. I have 2 Swaro rifle scopes and 5 Zeiss Conquests. For what its worth and for the money and feature vs. feature, imho the Zeiss is equally as excellent and as clear as the Swaro and much less expensive. [/QUOTE]
