[QUOTE="400bull, post: 416144, member: 9065"] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]I was lucky enough to draw a unit 6 Nevada deer tag this year with one bonus point. I want to make the most of this trip because I don’t think that I’ll be so lucky again any time in the near future. I have convinced myself that I need to upgrade my Leupold Cascade 10X42 binos. I’ve been looking around and have decided that I going to drop the big Ka-change ($$$$) on a pair of Leica’s Ultravids or Swarovski SLC. I just cannot decide which one to go with. Any thought on why I should get one over the other? Also is the newer HD glass worth the extra money if I will not be using the binos to take pictures with?[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]I am also undecided on which power to get, 8X or 10X?
