[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2036592, member: 29323"] X4 on Steiners. They are porro prism (old school & less expensive) with the objective lenses further apart so they give better stereo vision. That makes a deer standing up on a slope stand out, and makes them easier to spot. I used the 10x50s for years, but got a deal on 12x40 Predator Steiners at Cabela's bargain barn. They have colored lenses to pick up brown and red better. It really helps for spotting elk and aoudad (not so much for deer). When an animal is just about to go into the brush, and you need to know if it has antlers, the instant focus feature pays for itself. They are also lighter than most other binos. When I started hunting, I had trouble holding 7x50s steady. 50 years later, and I can hold 12x40 steady, especially sitting with my elbows on my knees. As a side note, I modified a pair of suspenders to hold my binos. It clips to my belt in the back (which helps hold up my pants) and goes over both shoulders to the binos. Best system I've found.
