I have decided on a pair of binos. I looked at both a 8X42 and a 10X42 pair of Pentax HR II's and really liked them. Cabela's has them, though a little more expensive, I have points to use to pay for them. Question now is which power? What do you guys prefer? The 8X gives me a brighter view in low light. I hunt in the midwest were we glass fence rows for deer to stalk, I use them in the woods and to scout for trophy animals. So I need something that works for those conditions and enough power were I can judge animals. I now have a cheap pair of Bushnell 10X42's and wow what a difference. The field of view is not much different between the two. 330 (8X) vs. 315'(10X) at 1000 yards. Any thoughts?????
