I have been thinking about buying a new pair of binoculars for hunting to be carried around my neck most of the time for instant and continuious use. I am thinking about buying a Steiner 8X30 Military-Marine or Predator model. I looked at a 8X30 Military the other day and I believe it is a good compromise as far as size and weight that I want to put up with vs. usabllity. How do the Steiners stack up againt the competition in the price range of 200 to 300 dollars which happens to be in the same price range of these Steiners? Also what size binocular is best for the uses I have described? It seems to me that the real small ones like the 10X25s and the 8X22s are not very user friendly for substained use. I have always owned 10X50s or 7X50 in the past and while they work very well, they are too big to carry around much. Even the 7X35s are too big to hang around my neck for long. What does everyone else use?
