[QUOTE="Crockett12, post: 1344179, member: 35100"] Chances are you'll want a 10x bino for Colorado hunting -- depending on the terrain. If you have to choose between a bino and a spotting scope – choose the bino. A spotting scope won’t be any good without the bino finding the elk first! However, like others have said -- buy the highest quality bino you can afford. I have a 10x42 Leupold Cascades and an older Swarovski 7x42. Even though I consider the 10x Leupold Cascades a good buy for the price -- when I’m looking for game at long range – I can find the game easier with the 7x Swarovski than the 10x Leupold Cascades. The resolution on the Swarovski is that much higher! Also -- as others have said – low light viewing will be better with the more expensive bino’s and seeing is believing! Therefore – a higher quality bino of lower power will be better than a lesser quality bino of higher power! Several years ago before daylight, I was sneaking up on a field where I’d seen deer the night before. When I got to my spot where I was going to sit while waiting for shooting light, it was still way before I could see anything in the field. I was carrying my Swarovski’s, so I took a peek through them just to see if I could tell yet what was in the field. It was almost if someone had turned the lights on! Even though the light wasn’t bright through the bino’s, it was bright enough that I could see the whole field through the bino’s but still couldn’t see it with the naked eye. Seeing is believing! Good luck on your hunt! [/QUOTE]
