Said to be some of the best out there. And for the money they had better be.
Pick a size that you will use and not leave in the truck.

Same for me, I was going to buy the Leupold mojaves, but splurged!!

Leica 8x32's!

Nikon 10x

I like the Luepold Cascades, 8x42. Great light gathering, clear and not to heavy/big. Easy to carry all day + can't beat the warrenty.

Bought a pair of Bushnell Compact binoculars 20 years ago and they have served me very well .

Leica 10X50 and Zeiss 8X30

I have a pair of 10x42 Mojave's and really like them.  Good clarity, light weight and even got them on sale.  My friend has a pair of bruntons that he paid double what I payed and he likes the Mojave's better.  I think that you will be happy if you go with them. Just my imput and you can PM me if you want some more info.

Bought a pair of Stiener 10x26 20 years ago. Light for carrying out west on long hikes. Best $100 spent. Wish I could afford the names mentioned here but I don't care if he's weak on the left G2! If I see horns, he's worth goin after--if I can't see 'em he's too far to get to today!

Swarovski 10x42 EL.

MID SIZE 7,8 power for hunting. 10 Power for glassing.

Leica 8x32

I got the Leupold mojaves 8 x 42 for Christmas and love them.  They have helped me find a few sheds already.

My go to is usually whatever my sons have left me.
I like my nikon monarchs 8x42.   Certainly not top of the line but good for the money I think.

Sent you a PM !

I've tried lots of binos and for bowhunting out west I like a 10x42.  As far as the brand, I can't afford the big $$$$ ones, but I really like my Nikon Monarchs and Wind Rivers.

I bought a pair of Leica 10x42 BAs about 15 years ago.  They have been used incredibly hard and are beat to heck, but still optically and mechanically perfect.  At the time, they cost about $1000, so I'm paying about 70 bucks a year (and declining every year) for incredible performance.  Lifetime cost... not just initial purchase price is worth considering.

10x42 Khales for carrying on my Bino harness and my 15x16 SLC Swarovski's for sit down glassing off of my tripod.

Vortex diamondback 8x42 - love them!

10x30 Zeiss Conquest

10x42 Pentax DCF, clear, easy to carry
8x42 Leupold Wind Rivers (most carried)
7x26 Bushnell custom compacts 30years old. They're really pretty good.

If you want to see discounted prices, look at thesamplelist.com, an outfit out of Houston that sells floor samples, reconditioned optics, and new.
