Field Of View or Magnification Binoculars?

Sir-Diealot did you pull the trigger? I have the 8x42 Vortex and love them!

I know you already had a couple of pair of binoculars in mind, but you may want to consider something a little more compact. The Vortex Diamondback 8x28 are a inexpensive and quality binocular with a great warranty.

Nikon 10x50, use them for everything. Always have them around my neck.

I remove my glasses when I glass.

I have used small binoculars in the past but would never go back to them.

Thanks for the idea. I have also started to look at some of the other Nikon compact ones, just not sure they will give me the field of view I am looking for. There is a farm store near me and they have some of the small compacts made by Nikon, I may stop there on Thursday after hunting and take a look, they are kinda sorta on the way home anyway. Also I really am stuck on Nikon, have been using nothing but for years. Only 3 guns that do not have Nikon on them are the 10/22 and that goes to my nephews to learn to shoot on so no sense putting a expensive scope on that, my .243 which will get a Nikon if I can't fix the BSA (Just have to find one in 50mm like the BSA) on it now and the Leupold Turkey Plex I just put on the shotgun.

Love the ones I have, just trying to scale down some is all.
