which would you get? :shakehands:

Neither,,, I would never spend that much money on a rangefinder/binoculars. I'd buy a new bow or two before I did that....

[L-train]

Im 95% sure on the 10x45s but a bit is nagging that 8 power will be easier to get the sight pic on when at close Bow ranges.
These binos would be the last pair I buy(rather than a cheap set every other year, ive got bows;)

[Maybee-R]

Set your Binos on the top cam of your bow. bottom limb against your leg instant tripod. and little to no wiggle.squat down to the ground and its solid as a rock. great for high power optics. Just a thought.

I use those tricks glassing, Im talkin when you need to pick up and range a critter quick at like 33 yrds.

[TX Rattlesnake]

I use my 10's for everything.

[Scablands]

I use my 8 power on a harness for hunting, spot and stalk or still. I use my 10 power and spotting scope to locate deer and check antlers, that is where I invested the money. I use a rangefinder that will fit in my breast pocket with a cord around my neck so I don't lose it.
The 8 power is enough when you get close to pick out details for the last 30-40 yards before the shot.
If I was to have only one for everything I would get the 10 power.

Well, I say mine, but yes my buddy has a set of them and I use them when we hunt together. We film each others hunts alot so we do alot of hunting together. I like them, I can't afford them but like using his.

[three5x5s]

I choose 10. I use to do a lot of rifle hunting & had a 10 power scope. wanted them to both look the same. Makes it a little easier to pick up game

Are they the Leicas, I got a buddy with them that Ive used, the button on the left barrel was a pain so Ive been waiting on these.
I got a dealer buddy that gonna get them for cost for me if I want them.

[ALM0093]

I would personally look at Vortexoptics.com

[Rackaholic]

none at that price

[gt500shooter]

get two fully decked out gt500 for that price. DANG

[Buckwest1]

It think it has alot to do with your hunting style, where you hunt, and how much you hunt with a gun or a bow. Also it will depend on if you ever use a spotting scope. I live and hunt in Montana where the terrain is large and open but I can also be in the thick timber (usually where the elk are). In the open country the 10x's would be nice but the country tends to be so open that I have to use a spotting scope anyway. When I'm in the timber and am close enough to an animal for a shot and need a range I would prefer the 8x's. I wouldn't want to be so zoomed in that I had a hard time finding the game in the bino's. Just my .02

Thats tough. because I think even 8 power may be to strong. wish I could get a new 4 power rangefinder like the old ones. But in a small frame. all around 8 might be the better one to have.:scratchhead:

[L-train]

I would personally look at Vortexoptics.com

I called Vortex direct to see if they had a rangefinding bino coming out in 08-09, they said "not at this time but hope to soon". Id been all over a vortex product.
I know they are spendy(wish Id got a link w/out price)
Im try to sse what all think on 8 vs 10 power for rangeing.

I know, I love my bushnell ydg pro scout 6x, super quick sight pic on it.
Which is what makes me worry about a 10x rangefinder. I think this is the new high standard in glass(equal or better than swaro), hope to try some soon.

[archer58inPA]

8X will give you a larger field of view and you'll be able to pick up the target quicker.
I use 10X now and wish I had 8. I've had to search some times to find what I was looking for.
The magnification difference is very little whan treestand hunting , so for me it's a non-factor.

[L-train]

I can hardly believe what a difference high end binos make.
Absolutely AWESOME clarity, edge to edge.

45mm vs. 42mm, I wouldnt have guessed it would seem like that much of a difference.

Yep, worth every penny. Nice L.

[BROX]

You must be one of the few not bothered by the economy lol I personally would never pay that much for a pair of Bino's but to each his own as long as you like them.My self i happened opon a deal that i couldn't pass up yesterday on Craigs list.New never used Brunton 8x42 Echos picked them up for $75.00 i kinda felt guilty buying them from the guy.Yes you are correct about quality optics cause these things a crystal clear.CONGRATS on your purchase!

Great choice !

[stoley]

My wife would kill me if I spend 3 grand on bino's. I will not look through them at the store, because a divorce would happen shortly after.

Nice Bino's. I have been using 12X50 Barska's for 3D and they are fantastic for 30 bucks, hehe.

[L-train]

I got a sweet deal on these thru cameralandny, 750 off what I woulda paid at cabela's :freakjam:

[TEXAS 10PT]

Congrats Lonnie. Other than yours having the range finding capabilities, how is the glass compared to my Leicas? Close...same....better??? I bet your are lighter which is a big plus.

Hard to say, I think Leica Zeiss and Swaro are all a step above any glass, your are lower Mag so the exit pupil will be larger, helpin with brightness, these new Zeiss have HD glass with a coating that is unbelievably easy to clean.
I took these into Bass pro and compared to Swaro ELs and the Leica ranging bino, they are all sweet, I tried the Nikon LX which Ive heard is top end and was kind of like, Mehh. Honestly lookin thru my old Vortex is like a light fog compared.

[HoPaLONg]

zeiss and leica are both nice. id go with the better deal which is what you got. cant beat $750 off!!!

Yep, I would got the Leica deal I heard about;) last year if that ranging button was on the "right" side. really great glass.

[ROCKETMAN]

Doesn't make sense for it to be on the left only for obvious reasons.

I probably would have bought them before realizing my error.

Nice binos/finder it I didn't say it already.

[Crafty]

I would say 8X. I think its a lot easier to keep in focus with 8's than 10's. Might just be me but for close distance like bowhunting i had trouble getting both sides to focus right. I got a 10X, same model as my 8's and gave the 8s to a bud cause i had the new 10's. Wish i would have kept them.

[ntypicl11]

If you were back in Mn I would say the 8, but where you are at now, I would go with the 10's. More is better right? My sight isn't the greatest so I always opt for the bigger powers, I made the mistake of only getting 3-9 on my rifle scope, now I need a bigger one. I still hit what I aim at, but, I would like more.

These have a diopter compensator for each barrel so if one eye is different than another you can set it up that way. neato EH.
Oh I did get the 10x, just better for the hunting out west.

[Crafty]

Good Deal, :applause: Hope they work out for ya bud..

[cordini]

Congrats on the deal! I would have went with 10x as well, but I invested in a spotting scope last year, so my 8x will do for awhile.
