Perfect binos to accompany a big eye set up?

Recommended Posts

Since I had to sell my meopta 15s when times got tuff I now need to replace them. If money was no object I'd probably go for the EL 12s, but.... money is an object. So I'm considering getting the meopta 15s again but now that I'm gonna have the kowa 30x wide angle I'm on the fence to what would best accompany them. Am i ok with meopta 12s as a once and done all around bino? Or even 10s?  When i back pack away from the truck will i regret 12s and want my 15s back? 

Talk amongst yourselves.

When I deer hunt I glass with Vortex Crossfire 10x42 Binos.  Once I find something I break out my Vortex Kaibab 20x56s.  I can see antlers over a mile and a half away with those.

I ran 12’s with my BTX and it was about right.

To clarify I will often use the 30x wide angle set up. What's the best pair for this? 10s, 12s or 15s

I’d do the btx since money is an option. But if it wasn’t, I’d go with a Zeiss or higher end vortex.

30x kowa is my option. Dont rub poverty in my face guy. What pair of binos..

Honestly, my Zeiss victory fl in 10x56 get more use than the swaro 15x56. I’d love pair of 10x42 or 50 from Zeiss. Not sure what they make since I haven’t looked. I’m thinking my next pair will be 8’s

GPO 12x50’s. Right there with meopta. Better than vortex, not quite as good as swaro. I’d definitely stick with 12’s if you have big glass and only want to pack one pair. 15’s are too much and with 10’s you’ll want just a little more.
