I am going to buy some binoculars, either Zeiss, Swarovski, or Steiner. What I wanted some input on is whether I should get something along the lines of say 10x25 weight= about 10 oz. or larger 8 to 10x40 weight=about 25oz. I am leaning towards the smaller versions due to the fact that they would be easier to carry on long hunts and backpacking. What do you all think? For hunting versitility from coast to coast and everything inbetween? thanks for help.
