cactusjack Report post Posted December 2, 2015 look for a pair that has a tripod mount option. Not to say you will use it, but having the option is great. When I take other people or my kids out, having tripods for really glassing is the key. My kids have glassed up many deer with 10s on a tripod. The Leica Trinovids have one but dont be afraid of used Swarovski 10s. Leica is the only manufacture that keeps the warranty with the original buyer. I have Vortex Razor 10x50s that are awesome. A little more then the 1000 but I like them. I also have Leica Geovids and Swarovskis. I dont just drink the Vortex koolaid, or any others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daryl_s Report post Posted December 3, 2015 I bought the Zeiss Conquest HD 10x42 a few months ago and love them. You can find them new for around $900 if you shop around a little. I haven't compared them to the others you mentioned but they definitely are top of the line glass. Zeiss has also stepped up their warranty. The outdoorsman stud works on them too.

apache12 Report post Posted December 3, 2015 If you are looking for hand held bino not tripod use I'd consider 8's. Better exit pupil and FOV. I had a guy at a shop years back bet my I couldn't hardly tell the difference in magnification and he brightness clarity and low light is better. Anyway it may be bs but I love my 8's and I love the size for carry and spot and stalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
