8x vs. 10x in the high country

[luke moffat]

I have used 10x42 swaros and a 80mm spotter for a few years in the high country. I switched to 10x32 swaros just to save a little weight and I like them better. Hunting in September I haven't ever had a problem with low light because it really seems like the bucks are out all day long.

Good to hear I just made the jump from 10X42s to 10X32s as well.

I've been using a pair of 8x42 Leica binos for years, opted for the 8x versus the 10x as personally I just found myself a bit unsteady with the 10x. That being said this past fall I got to see the benefit of 10x firsthand. I spotted what I was fairly certain were sheep and rams to boot. After failing to be able to describe where they were to my hunting partner he handed me his 10x Leicas and in no time at all I confirmed they were indeed rams.
