I am looking for any pros and cons on deciding between the 10x32 and 8x32 LRF bino. Primarily archery hunting with some rifle. Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho

My goals/reasonings:
Consolidate range finder bino combo
Compact bino for quick 1 handed range in stalk (archery)
Still want to be able to use it for rifle
Higher quality glass vs ballistic

Planned Setup:
15x56 bino/tripod
8x32 or 10x32 LRF

Choosing this brand due to glass quality and price. However can't seem to find any locally to get hands on.

Thanks for any advice
 
I personally own the 10x32 Pros and love them, however I do find them lacking at dusk and dawn. It makes me think in the x32 objective I’d chose 8x or go up to the 10x42 Pros if I wanted to have the 10x.

Awesome man thanks fornthe feed back. Are you using them for all around hunting or specifically one type?
 
I am a newer western hunter but have used them hunting deer/elk in the mountains, lots of practice shooting at ranges and public land out to 1400 yards and a bit of deer hunting in the Midwest. Other than struggling in the final minutes of shooting light, I love everything about them.

That said, if you are planning to bring 15x binos for the bulk of your glassing, I’d get the Revics for a LRF bino. A friend has them and we compared side by side hunting this year. Revics are a little bigger/heavier but also gather light better. Perhaps the leicas are better glass (I can’t say I noticed it) but the Revics bring in more light and give ballistic solutions way faster than the leicas.

Fair enough, thank you for the advice. I will look into the revics as well.

Yeah if I'm glassing from fairly far away I'll use the large binos. The small ones are just as i get closer to confirm and grab different range distances for the shot i may take on the approach.
 
Check this thread out if you haven’t yet. It’s what led my friend to buy them and has a lot of good info on the Revics vs others when used for hunting.

 
FOV on the 8’s is 405ft vs 345ft on the 10s. I think that’s an advantage at most ranges and you mentioned archery. Particularly if you have a higher power pair.
 
The thing that has kept me away from rangefinder binos is I want to single hand hold for archery. For that reason alone if I were to get a pair it'd be the smallest and lowest magnification I could find. 8x32
 
My Sig 10x32 weigh the same as the 8x32 and have been easy enough to hand hold on archery hunts with a single hand.

I still have a cheap short rangefinder that is smaller form factor for archery when I am in close.
